Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can substitute with chicken tenders.
2 cups Crushed pretzels Any flavor works, but regular is best.
1 cup Flour Can use gluten-free flour as a substitute.
2 pieces Eggs Beaten, for coating.
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese Try sharp cheddar for a stronger flavor.
1/4 cup Dijon mustard For a milder taste, use yellow mustard.
1/4 cup Mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt.
Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.
Oil For frying, can use vegetable or canola oil.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with crushed pretzels.

Cooking

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes each side.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Sauce Preparation

In a small bowl, mix shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise to create the mustard cheddar sauce.

Serving

Serve the crispy chicken with the mustard cheddar sauce drizzled on top.

Notes

Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying the chicken to achieve a crispy texture. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to enhance the flavor of your dish. Consider adding spices to your pretzel coating for an extra kick; paprika or garlic powder can work wonders. Allow the fried chicken to drain on paper towels after frying to maintain crispness.
