Lemon Butter Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
• 3/4 cup dry Italian bread crumbs
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces fettuccine noodles

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Working with one chicken breast at a time, brush it with some mustard, then coat it in bread crumbs and place, rounded side up, in a 9x13 baking dish.
3. Now mix all of the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon peel and butter in a small bowl and pour over the chicken.
4. Bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, basting once or twice. Depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts you may need to reduce the cooking time, so you do not overcook your chicken.
5. Start the pasta about 15 minutes before the chicken is done, following the directions on the package.
6. When the chicken is done remove from dish and toss the well drained pasta with the lemon butter mixture.

Enjoy!!!
