Pretzel Chicken with Mustard-Cheddar Sauce: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 37 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups pretzel crumbs
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– ½ cup Dijon mustard
– ½ cup heavy cream
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Pretzel Chicken with Mustard-Cheddar Sauce is a delightful process. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare Chicken: Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
3. Season Flour: In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Prepare Egg Wash: In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
5. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat with pretzel crumbs, pressing to adhere.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
8. Prepare Mustard-Cheddar Sauce: While the chicken is baking, combine the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and shredded cheddar cheese in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
9. Serve Chicken: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven. Drizzle or spoon the mustard-cheddar sauce over the chicken.
10. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color before serving.
