Crunchy onion chicken

This is very easy. I found it in the Atlanta Journal Constitutional. Next time, I would add a bit more of the mustard, just to give it more flavor, and maybe some salt and pepper before baking the chicken to give it a little more of a kick. it's baked but kind of tastes like chicken tenders.

TONIGHT'S SOLUTION: Crunchy Onion Chicken

TO MAKE THE MEAL: Green beans and buttered pasta

Slicing the chicken breasts lengthwise to make them thinner and more uniform resulted in a more reliable cooking time. Alternatively, you can pound the chicken for more even thickness, and cut in half horizontally so it's easier to work with.
