  Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a lightly greased rack in a broiler pan. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bake at 500 degrees F for 15 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and broil the chicken 6 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer the chicken to a large serving platter and keep warm.

  While the chicken is cooking, place the mustard seeds in a small skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until the seeds start to pop and are lightly browned. Remove the skillet from the heat. Let the mustard cool completely in the skillet.
