Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups coarsely crushed pretzels
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beat eggs mixed with Dijon mustard in another, and crushed pretzels in a third.
- Coat each chicken breast first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in crushed pretzels.
- Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
- While baking, prepare the sauce by heating milk and Dijon mustard in a saucepan; stir in shredded cheddar until melted.
