Pretzel Crusted Chicken
Report
We love to 'fry' chicken in the oven! It always turns out so crispy on the outside and juicy inside, especially when the chicken is coated in crushed pretzels.

Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg
- 1 tablespoon brown mustard spicy
- 2 cups pretzels see note, crushed
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- parsley for garnish
- honey mustard for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt to a shallow dish and whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs and mustard to a second shallow dish and whisk well to combine.
- Add the crushed pretzels and panko to a third shallow dish and whisk to combine.
- Dredge the chicken pieces one at a time into first the flour, then the egg, and finally the pretzel crumbs, pressing to make sure the pretzels fully coat the chicken.
- Drizzle a large rimmed baking sheet with butter and spread it around to coat the pan.
- Arrange the breaded chicken on the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Sprinkle the chicken with parsley and serve with honey mustard or spicy brown mustard, for dipping.
Notes
- We use plain pretzel twists for this recipe, but you could use seasoned pretzels as well. The honey mustard pretzels are quite tasty here!
- To crush the pretzels, add them to a food processor and pulse until you have coarse crumbs. I like to leave it a mix of sizes, with some of the pretzels being finely ground like bread crumbs and others being a bit chunkier.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place the pretzels in a zip top bag, press out the air and seal, and smash the pretzels using a rolling pin or kitchen mallet.
