Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless skinless
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups Pretzels, crushed Crushed fine for better coating
For the sauce
  • 1 cup Mustard-cheddar sauce Warm before serving
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded For garnishing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Season the chicken breasts with this mixture.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Dijon mustard, and milk.
  4. Place the all-purpose flour in one bowl and crushed pretzels in another.
Coating
  1. Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with crushed pretzels.
  2. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  2. While the chicken is baking, heat the mustard-cheddar sauce in a small saucepan.
  3. Once the chicken is done, serve with the warm mustard-cheddar sauce drizzled on top and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Notes

Cool the chicken to room temperature and refrigerate. It stays fresh for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to keep the crust crisp. The mustard-cheddar sauce can also be stored separately in the fridge for 2-3 days.
