Pretzel-Crusted Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts adapted from Food and Wine makes 2-3 chicken breasts total time: 30-35 minutes total hands-on time: 10 minutes

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 400.

  2. 2. Place the pretzels in a plastic ziploc bag and crush them with a heavy object; I used the bottom of a glass. I liked having some chunkier pieces of pretzel in the mix but if you want a totally uniform crust, you might want to use a blender or a food processor.

  3. 3. In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, mustard, oil, honey, salt, pepper and garlic powder until well-combined.

  4. 4. Spread the crushed pretzels out on a flat surface: a plate, some tinfoil, a paper towel. Your call.

  5. 5. Dip the chicken breasts into the mustard sauce and then coat on both sides with the crushed pretzels. You'll have a little bit of mustard sauce left over...save it!

    6. Bake the chicken for about 20-25 minutes. The pretzels will brown a bit.

  7. 7. Slice and serve with more mustard sauce on top.
