Oven Fried Chicken

2 boneless-skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 tsp dried thyme
Salt & Pepper
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp olive oil

Preheat oven to 400^ F. Line a baking sheet with heavy duty foil. Place a cooling rack over pan and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

In a shallow dish combine the bread crumbs, parmesan, thyme and 1 Tbsp olive oil until crumbly.

In another dish combine the mustard, salt & pepper, water and remaining tablespoon olive oil and whisk to mix well.

Coat each chicken breast in mustard mixture then dredge in the bread crumbs. Place on prepared rack and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and completely cooked.

Serve immediately.
