Crispy chicken tenders coated in crushed pretzels for an extra crunch, served with a tangy honey mustard dipping sauce. A delicious twist on a classic favorite!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 cups Pretzels
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place pretzels in a blender and pulse until finely crushed. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs. In a third bowl, mix flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Cut the chicken breast into tenders. Dip each piece in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with crushed pretzels, pressing gently to adhere.
- Arrange the coated chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
