Description
Pretzel Chicken Mustard Cheddar is a delightful dish featuring tender chicken breasts coated in a crunchy pretzel crust, topped with a creamy mustard-cheddar sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups (120 g) coarsely crushed pretzels
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 cup (240 ml) mustard-cheddar sauce
- 1/2 cup (60 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
Instructions
- Set oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Arrange three shallow bowls: place flour in the first, beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard in the second, and crushed pretzels in the third.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the egg-mustard mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Press into the crushed pretzels until fully coated.
- Transfer coated chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 75°C and the crust is golden brown.
- While chicken cooks, heat milk, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
- Gradually whisk in shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper as needed. Remove from heat.
- Allow baked chicken to rest briefly before plating. Spoon mustard-cheddar sauce generously over each portion.
Notes
- Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the crushed pretzels.
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
