Method for Lemon and Herb Crumbed Chicken
Salt both sides of the Chicken Breasts with Lemon Pepper Braai Salt.
Start coating the Chicken Breasts on a board with the rib side (underneath) up.
Coat the rib side generously with the sauce coating using a paint brush (use about one third of your mix).
Sprinkle the Crumb on top of Sauce (about one third of the crumb mix).
Place the Chicken Breasts carefully in a lightly oiled baking dish crumbed side underneath.
Repeat coating and crumb procedure on the breast (top) side of each breast using remainder of the mix.
Allow prepared chicken to cool in fridge for at least an hour or even longer — this dish can be prepared early in the afternoon and then be allowed to set in the fridge.
Bake the chicken in a 180 degree oven for 1 hour.
Method for Mustard Sauce
Place all ingredients (except the Butter) into the top of a double boiler. Whisk them together very well. Then stir over simmering water until thick and smooth. Lastly stir in the Butter as well, and it is ready to be served with the Chicken.
