Breaded Chicken

I needed a simple baked chicken dish to go with the sweet potato recipe above and I came up with this little diddy. And it was good! Even better, I didn't have to go to the store because I had all the ingredients on hand. Gotta love that! My husband even said it was excellent!

Breaded Chicken - serves 2

2 chicken breasts, trimmed of fat

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat chicken with dijon mustard, using more if necessary. In a food processor or blender, finely chop cheese, bread crumbs, walnuts and seasonings. Dredge chicken in crumb mixture and bake for about 30-35 minutes.
