Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts about 1 pound total
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter for sauce
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for sauce
  • 1 cup milk for sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese for sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard for sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste for sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine crushed pretzels, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, place the flour.
  4. In a third bowl, beat the eggs.
  5. Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.
  6. Dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, then press into the pretzel mixture until well coated.
  7. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
  10. While the chicken is baking, prepare the mustard cheddar sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  11. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  12. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.
  13. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
