    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a baking sheet.
  2. Slice chicken into 1 1/2 inch strips. Place pretzels in a medium bowl. Whisk together eggs and water in a second bowl. In a third bowl stir together flour, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss chicken strips in the flour mixture to coat, then dredge in the egg mixture being sure to coat all sides. Lastly, roll chicken pieces in the crushed pretzels and place in a single layer on the greased baking sheet.
  4. Bake chicken for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and browned. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Some of my favorite dipping sauces are blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, and honey mustard sauce (my personal favorite!).
