Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 large eggs
  • Olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Extra crushed pretzels for texture

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and Dijon mustard, and one with crushed pretzels mixed with garlic powder and smoked paprika.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the egg mixture, and coat thoroughly with pretzel crumbs.
  4. Place coated chicken on a lined baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter, and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  5. For added crispiness, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear each piece for 5–6 minutes per side.
  6. To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, then gradually add milk while stirring until thickened. Stir in mustards and cheese until melted.
  7. Serve hot topped with cheddar mustard sauce.
