PARMESAN CHICKEN

Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 40 min
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 (5-oz) skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 English muffins (not sandwich-size)
3/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 1/2 oz)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Special equipment: parchment paper

Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

Whisk together mustard, vinegar, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and add chicken breasts, tossing to coat well.

Pulse English muffins in a food processor until finely ground. Add cheese, butter, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and pulse until combined well. Transfer to a shallow soup plate or pie plate.

Dredge chicken, 1 piece at a time, in crumbs, coating completely and pressing gently to help crumbs adhere, then transfer to baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven until golden brown and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Cooks' note:
• Chicken can marinate in mustard mixture, covered and chilled, up to 2 hours before coating.

Jim's' note:
• The above "Cooks note:" should be: Chicken can marinate in mustard mixture, covered and chilled, 4 hours before coating or use a vacume sealer to speed things up.
