Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 3 cups Pretzels
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray.
Place the pretzels in a food processor and pulse until they resemble coarse crumbs. Transfer the pretzel crumbs to a shallow dish and mix with the ranch seasoning packet.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, combine the flour with salt and black pepper. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third dish, place the pretzel and ranch crumb mixture.
Pound the chicken breasts gently with a meat mallet to ensure they are of even thickness, about 1/2-inch thick.
Dredge each chicken breast first in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally press into the pretzel crumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly drizzle or spray the tops with olive oil to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
