Pretzel Chicken Sandwich
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pretzel buns
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, beat the eggs in another, and mix the crushed pretzels, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the pretzel mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
- While the chicken is baking, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
- Toast the pretzel buns in the oven for a few minutes until warm and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the Dijon-mayo mixture on the bottom half of each pretzel bun, then adding a chicken breast, a slice of cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the pretzel bun.
- Serve the pretzel chicken sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
