Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cups crushed pretzels (about 6 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Olive oil or melted butter for baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pound chicken breasts to even thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour, another with whisked eggs and Dijon mustard, and a third with crushed pretzels mixed with garlic powder and smoked paprika.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat in the pretzel mixture.
  4. Place chicken on a lined baking sheet. Brush with olive oil or melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, cook each breast for about 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp should be 165°F).
  6. For the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour, then gradually add milk until thickened. Stir in mustards and cheese until melted; season to taste.
  7. Serve hot, drizzled with the cheddar mustard sauce and garnished with parsley.
