BAKED OREGANO CHICKEN

4 servings (plus 2 chicken breasts for another meal; see recipe below)

¼ cup dry bread crumbs

2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

¼ tsp dried oregano leaves

1/8 tsp garlic salt

1/8 tsp pepper

¼ cup Dijon mustard

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 3/4 to 2 lbs)

 

Heat oven to 425°. Spray jelly roll pan, 15½x10½x1 inch, with cooking spray.  Mix bread crumbs, cheese, oregano, garlic salt and pepper. Spread mustard on all sides of 4 chicken breasts. Cover mustard-coated chicken breasts with bread crumb mixture. Place all 6 chicken breasts in pan.  Bake uncovered about 25 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Cover and refrigerate the 2 uncoated chicken breast.  Serve with a side of spaghetti-perhaps leftover spaghetti-along with Italian green beans, fresh pears and bread-sticks is an easy way to finish off this meal.
