Ingredients

For the Pretzel-Crusted Chicken:

  • 1 (5-ounce) bag Grain-Free Pretzel
  • 2 Tbsp Super Fine Almond Flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/5 to 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into thin fillets

For the Honey Mustard Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil or avocado oil
  • 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp cider vinegar

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pour a full (5-ounce) bag of pretzels into your food processor or blender. Process until you have a coarse flour.

  6. Place on the baking sheet and repeat for remaining chicken.
  7. Bake the chicken on the center rack of the preheated oven for 15 to 25 minutes (depending on thickness), until chicken is cooked through and crispy.
