Oven Fried Chicken

Thanks Paula Deen for this tasty recipe! I didn't cook the chicken directly on the oven racks...but, it was still yummy! Plus, I'm a sucker for Panko bread crumbs!!!

Oven Fried Chicken

2 cups Panko bread crumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan
4 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 Tablespoons freshly minced thyme leaves
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons water
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack over pan and spray rack with nonstick cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, cheese, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper, to taste. In a separate shallow dish combine mustard, water, salt and pepper, to taste, and remaining olive oil. Coat each chicken breast with mustard mixture; dredge each in bread crumb mixture. Place on prepared rack in pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown.
Serve immediately.
