  • Über dieses Rezept:

    How do you choose between cooking a nice meal or cooking an easy one? The answer is: You don't! Just make this recipe! It's easy to make, but looks and tastes like fine dining. The sun dried tomatoes and fresh thyme combine perfectly for a classic Italian flavor, the thin layer of mustard adds unique tanginess, and the quick sear before baking brings color and crunch to the chicken. Plus, chicken breast is one of the healthier proteins, so you can feel great about what you're eating without being annoyed at the lack of taste. The downside of chicken breast's low fat content is that it can end up dry pretty easily, so using a meat thermometer is the key to avoiding that. But not just any meat thermometer! Not only will MEATER let you know when to take your chicken out of the oven to hit the perfect temperature, but the MEATER app will also give you doneness recommendations based on what's going to give you the juiciest result. Since you've already got some carbs in your main dish, our recommendation is to go with veggies for your side, like a Caesar salad with crisp lettuce. Chicken breast is a super lean protein, so you can also lean into the healthiness and steam some vegetables. A nice glass of white wine will look gorgeous next to your beautiful breaded chicken, so reach for something dry like sauvignon blanc or chardonnay. You can also keep it a bit more casual with a citrusy beer like IPA.

    Zubereitungsmethode:

  • 1

    Remove Thyme Stems

    Pull your thyme leaves off of the stems.

    Thyme has a delicate and aromatic flavor that won't mask the subtle taste of the chicken breast. The blend of thyme and sun-dried tomatoes creates such a classically delicious Italian flavor that you might just start doing involuntary hand gestures while you're eating it. Make sure to only use the thyme leaves, since the stems have too much of a twiggy texture, and can also burn pretty easily.

    Blend Breading Mixture

    Drain the tomatoes, then blend them with your bread crumbs and thyme leaves on high speed, just until the mixture is crumbly and evenly red.

  • 3

    Dry Breading Mixture

    Spread your breading mixture evenly on one of your baking trays and let it air dry.

    Texture is a big element of this recipe, and you want to give the breading time to air dry so it can get good and crunchy. Spreading it out in a tray also makes it easier to apply, because you can just slap that chicken right in there after you've added the mustard.

    Pre-Heat Oven

    Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This can take up to 15m.

    Chicken breast is a super lean meat, so it doesn't need to be cooked slowly since there's no fat to render. Instead, it's better to cook at a medium high temperature so it's ready faster, and so it ends up a lovely golden color instead of a weird pasty white or a sad beige.
