Chicken a la Diable Recipe

By Rebecca Franklin, About.com

Spicy deviled chicken is breaded and then fried in butter for an amazing taste explosion. The secret to its mildly fiery flavor: mustard and cayenne.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 6 boneless chicken breast halves, cut in half lengthwise
  • ¾ cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Melt the butter in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and cayenne pepper. Brush the mustard onto the chicken, and then dip the chicken in eggs and dredge in the breadcrumbs. Arrange the chicken breasts in the roasting pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, turning once. Serve immediately.

Makes 6 servings.
