Ingredients

1 cup fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless bread

1 cup yellow cornmeal

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried

2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 cup Dijon mustard

2 large eggs

6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter

4 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 2 tablespoons minced parsley, 2 tablespoons minced thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in large bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup Dijon mustard and 2 eggs in medium bowl to blend.

Using mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast half between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/2- to 1/3-inch thickness. Dip pounded chicken first into mustard mixture and coat well, then into breadcrumb mixture and coat well; shake off excess breadcrumbs.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken to skillet; cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Repeat with remaining butter, oil and chicken.

Bake chicken until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
