• kosher salt and black pepper
• 1  tablespoon  olive oil
• 1/4  cup  Dijon mustard

1. Heat oven to 400° F. In a food processor, pulse the bread, parsley, garlic, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper until coarse crumbs form.
2. Add the oil and pulse to combine. Transfer to a plate.
3. Spread the mustard over the chicken and dip the pieces in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
