Crispy Chicken with Creamy Dijon Sauce

Serve immediately for the crispiest chicken.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven to maintain the crispiness.

Variations

Herbed Twist: Add fresh thyme or rosemary to the sauce for an aromatic boost.

Cheesy Crunch: Mix shredded mozzarella or Gruyère into the breadcrumb coating for extra flavor.

Lighter Version: Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
