Cut the chicken breasts in half to make them thinner by placing your hand on top and carefully cutting along the side.

Season both sides of the chicken with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Pour buttermilk into a shallow baking dish and add mustard (optional) along with salt and pepper to taste.

Dip the seasoned chicken into the buttermilk, ensuring it's well covered.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the breading by adding panko breadcrumbs to a shallow baking dish and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the chicken from the fridge and dredge it in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring it's well covered and shaking off the excess.

Place the breaded chicken on a baking rack set on top of a baking sheet to allow air circulation.

Bake at 350°F for about 20 to 25 minutes.

Turn on the broiler during the last 2 to 3 minutes to achieve a golden brown crust.
