I made a simple breaded chicken recipe last night (mixed butter, mustard & bread crumbs together), but the mixture wouldn't stick to the chicken – any tips?

So, to sumarize & relate to your current situation : don't mix your coating together, as you want seperate alternating layers of wet & dry.
Your typical breading for chicken is:
You want to shake or let drip between each addition for nice, think coatings. If you don't, as dry won't stick to dry, and wet won't stick to wet, you'll end up having a giant slip-plain and things will slide off.
If you're pan frying (instead of deep frying), you might be able to get away with your mix while cooking, but it'll likely come off when someone goes to cut into it.
