Parmesan- Almond Crusted Chicken

Amanda made this for dinner, and it is amazing.

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup Dijon or coarse ground mustard
1/4 cup apple juice
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 T. butter, melted
2 cups fresh bread crumbs (about 6 slices of bread--use processor--don't use dry bread crumbs)
1/4 cup ground almonds
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. dried basil
3 T. butter, melted


Line a 13x9 baking sheet with foil and place a cooking rack on top. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a shallow pan, mix mustard, juice, garlic, and 2 T. melted butter. In another pan, mix bread crumbs, almonds, cheese, salt, pepper, basil and 3 T. melted butter.

Place chicken breasts in mustard, juice mixture and then in bread crumb mixture. Place on rake. Bake for 30 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Very good.
