- 2 lbs chicken breast, about 3 large chicken breasts
- Sea Salt & Pepper
- 1/3 cup dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup real mayonnaise

Roll each chicken strip into your bread crumbs a couple times to get a nice coating of crumbs then transfer breaded strips to prepared baking sheet. For the best, crispy crust results, do not overcrowd chicken.
