Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 3 cups Pretzels
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard until smooth. Set aside half of the mixture for dipping sauce.
Place the pretzels in a food processor and pulse until they form coarse crumbs. Alternatively, place the pretzels in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow bowl or plate.
In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third shallow bowl, add the all-purpose flour.
Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, coating lightly and shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, press the chicken into the crushed pretzels, patting the crumbs onto the surface for a thick, even coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the pretzel coating is golden brown and crispy.
Serve the chicken immediately with the reserved honey mustard sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
