Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (approximately 1.5 lbs / 680g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (15 ml)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30g)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (45g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and Dijon mustard.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken thigh in the flour, then the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly with the Parmesan mixture.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large pan and cook for 3-4 min on each side or put the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley (if using) and serve immediately.
