Herb Crusted Chicken is as tasty as it is good looking!
Brush a mustard sauce over chicken breasts and press a Parmesan herb breading on top. It’s an easy recipe for holidays and special occasions! The fresh herbs in the breading definitely make for a beautiful presentation. But, dried herbs will work too.
It’s the same breading used on Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin and is fantastic on salmon too.
This is also a very popular recipe for a make ahead meal household. While you have everything out, go ahead and make a few servings to freeze for later. Perfect for a weekday meal with a tossed salad on the patio.
