Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups Crushed pretzels
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Place the pretzels in a resealable bag, seal it, and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Pour the crushed pretzels into a shallow dish and stir in the paprika.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, and Greek yogurt until smooth. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Dip each chicken breast into the mustard mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow excess marinade to drip off before pressing the chicken into the crushed pretzels, coating both sides evenly.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Spray the tops of the coated chicken with a light mist of olive oil to help with browning and crisping.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the pretzel crust is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Pretzel Mustard Chicken with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
