Instructions

How to Make Pretzel Chicken with Mustard-Cheddar Sauce

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a crispy coating while keeping the chicken juicy and tender.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge each chicken breast in flour, allowing excess to fall off.
  • Dip in beaten eggs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  • Coat the chicken in crushed pretzels, pressing down gently for an even layer.
  • Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Prepare the sauce by combining cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, and milk in a saucepan.
  • Serve the chicken while hot, drizzling the mustard-cheddar sauce generously on top.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
