Recipes: Art Smith's Honey Mustard Chicken
Ingredients
(serves four)
vegetable-oil spray
4 6-oz boneless and skinless
chicken breasts, trimmed and lightly
pounded to uniform thickness
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp whole-grain Dijon mustard
2 tbsp honey
21/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
4 tbsp olive oil
Directions
1. Position a rack in the center of the
oven; preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat
a baking sheet with vegetable-oil spray.
2. Season the chicken with salt and
pepper. Combine the mustard and
honey in a shallow dish. Spread the
crumbs in another dish. Dip each
breast in the mustard to coat on both
sides, then in the crumbs, patting
them to make them adhere. Set aside.
3.Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a
large skillet over medium heat until the
oil is very hot but not smoking. Add
two chicken breasts and cook until
undersides are golden brown, about
two minutes. Turn and brown the other
sides, about two minutes more. Transfer
to the baking sheet and repeat with the
remaining oil and chicken breasts.
4. Bake in the oven until chicken breasts
feel firm when pressed in the center,
about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
