Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Coating:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups coarsely crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Mustard-Cheddar Sauce:

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to enhance flavor.
  3. Prepare Coating Bowls: Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard, and one with coarsely crushed pretzels.
  4. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, then dip into the egg and mustard mixture, and finally press firmly into the crushed pretzels, ensuring an even, thick crust.
  5. Bake Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crisp. Check that internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Make Sauce: While chicken bakes, heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  7. Add Flavor: Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined and warmed through.
  8. Serve: Serve the baked chicken breasts hot, drizzled generously with the mustard-cheddar sauce for a savory and tangy finish.

Notes

  • Use thick pretzels to achieve better crunch and texture.
  • Ensure the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Adjust the amount of mustard in the sauce according to your personal taste preference.
