Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil for frying the chicken
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups salted pretzels pulsed
Chicken Marinade:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes or cayenne pepper
Honey Mustard Sauce:
- 1/3 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp chilli flakes or cayenne pepper optional
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400 ℉.
- Begin by preparing your chicken marinade. Slather the marinade on both sides of the chicken and let rest for a minimum of 30 minutes but preferably 1 hour.
- Pulse your pretzels in a blender and set aside.
- To an oven safe frying pan add your olive oil and set to medium/high heat.
- Fry your chicken breasts on each side for 2-3 minutes, just until they get a nice brown color on each side.
- Add your pan to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken reaches about 155°.**You want to take the chicken out to add the pretzels about 5 minutes before the chicken is done cooking.
- When you chicken has about 5 minutes left, take it out quickly and add a thin layer of yellow mustard with a cooking brush. This will allow the pretzels to stick better.
- Add your pretzels to the top of the chicken and get it back in the oven to finish cooking.
- While it finishes off in the oven, prepare your honey mustard sauce.
- Once your chicken reaches 165℉ take it out and drizzle it with that delicious honey mustard dressing.
- Serve right away!
