Pretzel-and-Mustard Baked Chicken

Put a slim spin on fried chicken by baking with a pretzel crust instead. You'll retain the trademark crunch and flavorful taste while losing tons of unwanted calories and fat. It's a perfect recipe for a healthy home.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pretzel nuggets
  • 1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
  • 2 tbsp skim milk
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Parchment paper
  • 3 lb skinless chicken parts (including bones)

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°. Pulse pretzels in a food processor until nuggets become coarse crumbs. Whisk mustard, milk and salt in a bowl. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll each piece of chicken in mustard mixture, rubbing off excess into a bowl. Coat chicken with crumbs and place on baking sheet. Bake until juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

I have used various varieties of the Snyders flavored pretzels pieces as a coating for chicken breast. They have honey mustard, ranch, garlic bread and others. I crush them very fine and use minimal amount to reduce the amount of carbs, but it's a great way to add a different flavor to chicken. (Baked pork chops too!)

Yummy recipe......and my kids love it!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
