Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
Mix mustard, thyme, 1/2 t. salt and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Add chicken breasts; turn to coat completely; set aside.
In a medium shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and panko; dredge chicken in the panko mixture, coating evenly and heavily, and pressing the coating into the meat.
For an even all-around crunch, place chicken on a greased rack that has been set over a greased baking sheet, spray with a quick burst of cooking spray; put the sheet in the center of the oven. Bake until the chicken is golden and cooked through, 15 - 20 minutes.
Let rest 5 minutes before cutting or serving.
