Baked Orange Crumbed Chicken

2 Tbs. Dijon mustard (I used honey mustard)
2 Tbs. orange juice (I used fresh oranges)
1/2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
10oz skinless boneless thighs
4 oz bread crumbs ( I used Italian Style Panko)
1 Tbs. grated orange zest
1/4 tsp onion powder ( I didn't have any so used garlic powder)
1/4 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 350*
Spray baking sheet with non-stick coating ( I covered baking sheet with foil to make clean up easier)

Combine bread crumbs, orange zest, onion powder and pepper in shallow pan or on wax paper.
In bowl combine mustard, orange juice and soy sauce.

Dip chicken into the sauce then roll in the crumb mixture.
Firmly coating on both sides.

Place on baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes. Turn and bake additional 15-20 minutes until juices are clear.


Since I don't fry chicken any more this is a tasty replacement! It was tender enough to cut with a fork and very good! And the foil over the baking sheet made it a very easy clean up afterwards!

  1. Sounds yummy! I know thighs are cheaper, but breasts have less fat and more protein!
