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.
