Description
Crispy pretzel-crusted chicken served with a creamy mustard-cheddar sauce, perfect for family dinners or entertaining.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a mixture of eggs and milk, and one with crushed pretzels mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat with the pretzel mixture. Press the pretzel crumbs gently so they adhere well.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the mustard, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until combined.
- Serve the chicken with the creamy mustard-cheddar sauce on the side.
Notes
Consider using low-sodium pretzels or cheese if you’re watching your salt intake. For a lighter sauce, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
