How to Make Pretzel Crusted Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Butterfly each chicken breast: Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal slit in one side of each chicken breast, stopping about 1/2 inch from the opposite side. Open the breast like a book.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of honey mustard inside each chicken breast pocket.
- Place 2 slices of ham (about 2 ounces total) inside each pocket.
- Gently close the chicken breasts.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush evenly over each chicken breast.
- Crush 1 cup of pretzels into coarse crumbs.
- Coat each chicken breast thoroughly in the pretzel crumbs.
- Place the chicken breasts in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.
- During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional) over the chicken.
- Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve immediately with extra honey mustard for dipping.
