CHICKEN A LA DIABLE - Bon Appetit

Category: Chicken

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
3 tablespoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Gather three wide, shallow bowls. In the first whisk the flour, 2 teaspoons of salt and the black pepper together. In the second, use a fork to beat the eggs with the Dijon and cayenne pepper. Mix the bread-crumbs and the remaining teaspoon of salt in the third dish.

Working with one piece of chicken at a time, start by dredging it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip it the egg mixture then coat with the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a wire rack and repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.

Set a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the chicken and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until cooked through, about 12 minutes. Serves 4
