pretzel chicken

this was awesome! i made honey mustard sauce (recipe follows) to dip this in and together it was one of the best things that i have made in a while! (i feel like i have been having a lot of 'off' meals... ask the broccoli quinoa casserole that i threw in the garbage today and it would agree lol)


the best part is that this was really easy! the recipe that i got the idea from called for ritz crackers but i didnt have nay on hand so i improvised and i think that it turned out awesome!


pretzel chicken
idea from http://www.jamiecooksitup.net/2011/10/crispy-cheddar-chicken.html

2 chicken breasts, cut in half and pounded down to be thin (you can place in a ziploc bag and use a meat mallet (?) or frying pan)

3 handful pretzels, crushed

1/2 cup milk

2 cups shredded cheese- i used mexican blend cuz thats what i had

preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Pour the milk, cheese and pretzel crumbs into 3 separate small pans.

Dip chicken into milk and then the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers as best you can.

Press the cheesy chicken into the pretzel crumbs and press it in.

Repeat with each piece of chicken.

Place chicken into sprayed baking dish. Cover the pan with tin foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the tin foil, bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Honey mustard sauce:

1/4 cup honey

2 tsp dijon mustard

1/4 tsp garlic powder
