  • Total Time: 10 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups pretzel crumbs
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– ½ cup milk
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika

– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

– ½ cup heavy cream (for the sauce)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)


Instructions

Creating Pretzel Chicken with Mustard-Cheddar Sauce is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Set Up Breading Stations: In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs mixed with milk and Dijon mustard, and pretzel crumbs.
4. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the pretzel crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
7. Prepare Mustard-Cheddar Sauce: While the chicken is baking, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve Chicken: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
9. Drizzle Sauce: Serve the sliced chicken drizzled with the mustard-cheddar sauce.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly, ensuring you have a meal that is both delicious and satisfying.
