Ingredients:
- 2-3 chicken pieces (you can choose your favorite cuts)
- 4 tablespoons Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted (plus extra for dotting)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup crushed pork rinds or crushed butter crackers (for a low-carb option)
- 2 tablespoons soy flour (optional)
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard, one tablespoon of melted butter, minced garlic, ground sage, ground cinnamon, paprika, and ground black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth mustard mixture.
-
Gradually add the remaining melted butter to the mustard mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
-
In a separate shallow dish, mix together the crushed pork rinds (or crushed butter crackers), grated parmesan cheese, and soy flour (if using). This will form the coating for the chicken.
-
Coat each chicken piece generously with the prepared mustard mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.
-
Roll the mustard-coated chicken pieces in the rind mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
-
Place the coated chicken pieces in a baking dish and dot them with additional butter for extra flavor.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
-
After 45 minutes, uncover the dish and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
-
Once done, remove the Spiced Mustard Chicken from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve the chicken hot or at room temperature, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
-
Feel free to experiment with the amounts of spices and ingredients according to your taste preferences. This recipe is highly versatile and can be adjusted to suit your personal flavor profile.
-
Additionally, you can substitute chicken breasts for the chicken pieces if desired, adjusting the cooking time accordingly to ensure they are cooked through.
