Ingredients

• ground black pepper to taste
• nonstick cooking spray
• 1 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, or to taste
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs, or as needed
• 4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup salted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon light adobo seasoning

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Garnish with parsley to serve.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 3

Trim any fat off of chicken thighs and season with a light coating of adobo and pepper.

Step 4

Stir Dijon and melted butter together in a shallow bowl until you have a glossy, buttery mixture. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in another bowl.

Step 5

Dip chicken thighs in the Dijon mixture until evenly coated, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture. Transfer thighs to the prepared baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven without flipping until no longer pink in the centers, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
