Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups pretzel crumbs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one bowl, beat the eggs in another bowl, and place the pretzel crumbs in a third bowl.
- Dip each chicken breast in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with pretzel crumbs.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the breaded chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- For the sauce, mix cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and honey in a small saucepan over low heat until the cheese melts and the sauce is warm.
- Serve the chicken with the cheddar mustard sauce drizzled on top.
Notes
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying for a golden crust. For extra flavor, add spices like garlic powder or paprika to the pretzel crumbs.
