Mustard & Parmesan-Crumbed Chicken is a delightful dish that marries the tangy richness of mustard with the nutty, savory notes of Parmesan. This recipe, beloved in many Midwest kitchens, is a nostalgic nod to the days when farm-fresh ingredients were more than a trend—they were a way of life. It reminds me of Sunday family dinners, where the aroma of home-cooked meals filled the air and every bite told a story of love and tradition. It’s a perfect choice for those looking to bring a bit of comforting, hearty flavor to their dinner table.
This chicken pairs wonderfully with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and roasted green beans. A simple side salad with a light vinaigrette can also complement the rich flavors of the dish, while a warm, buttered roll adds an extra touch of homey comfort. If you’re looking to channel the full Midwestern experience, don’t forget to add a slice of apple pie for dessert!
