Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cups crushed pretzels
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 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 oven to 400°F (200°C). Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard, and one with crushed pretzels combined with garlic powder and smoked paprika.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in the crushed pretzels.
  4. Place on a lined baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter, and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. For extra crispiness, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear each piece for about 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour. Gradually add milk until thickened. Stir in mustards and cheese until smooth; season to taste.
  7. Serve chicken hot topped generously with cheddar mustard sauce.
