3. Mix herbs, garlic, and mustard in a bowl.
4. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese on a plate. Lightly brush each breast in the mustard-herb mixture, wiping off excess, then dredge each breast in the bread crumb/cheese mixture.
5. Heat a large sauté pan over med-high heat. Once pan is hot, add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Place 2 chicken breasts in the pan and brown each side, carefully flipping with a spatula, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
6. Place breasts on a parchment lined sheet pan, repeat with remaining oil and chicken, then bake in oven for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
7. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy!
