Description
A crunchy and flavorful chicken dish with a salty pretzel crust and creamy mustard-cheddar sauce, quick to prepare and perfect for easy dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 cups pretzel crumbs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mustard
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for baking)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In one bowl, place the flour and season with salt and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk.
- In a third bowl, mix the pretzel crumbs with half of the cheddar cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the pretzel crumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- In a small saucepan, combine the mustard and remaining cheddar cheese, heating over low until the cheese is melted.
- Serve the chicken with the mustard-cheddar sauce on the side.
Notes
Crush pretzels finely for better adhesion. Pat chicken dry before coating. Use a wire rack on the baking sheet for a crisp crust.
