How to Make Pretzel And Mustard Baked Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pulse pretzels in a food processor until coarsely crumbed. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, milk, and salt until well combined.
  3. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the mustard mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Let any excess drip back into the bowl.
  5. Press the pretzel crumbs onto the mustard-coated chicken, ensuring it's evenly covered.
  6. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
