Scale
- 1/4 cup olive oil (for light frying)
- 5 cups pretzel twists
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 3 eggs (beaten)
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- chopped parsley (for topping)
Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- **You will want to prepare the sauce at least 24 hours before serving with the chicken. To prepare the sauce. Add mayonnaise, ketchup, dijon mustard, pepper, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce to a bowl and whisk until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 24 hours before serving.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a skillet, preheat 1/4 cup olive oil on medium/high heat in the bottom of the pan.
- On a cutting board, flatten the chicken breasts with a mallet or rolling pin until they are 1/2 inch thick.
- Add the pretzels, flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and chili powder in a plastic bag. Crush the pretzel mixture with a rolling pin until it’s reduced down to crumbs. Then, dump the pretzel crumbs into a shallow bowl.
- Next, beat your eggs in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken in the eggs and then in the pretzel crumb mixture. Repeat this step one more time for a thicken, crunchier crust. Then place the chicken on a plate to get ready to lightly fry.
- Place two chicken breast in the pan at a time—you don’t want to overcrowd the pan because the temperature will drop. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on the first side, then flip it over and cook for another 2 minutes. Then, transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
- Once the chicken breasts have all been cooked on the stovetop, transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, flip them and bake for another 10 minutes on the other side. The internal temperature should be 165°F.
- Top the chicken with herbs and serve with the cream dijon mustard sauce. Enjoy!
