Instructions
Cooking is where the magic truly happens. Follow these steps to bring your dish to life:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the crushed pretzels, flour, and a pinch of salt and pepper in separate shallow dishes.
- Beat the eggs in another dish, adding the Dijon mustard to the mix.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally press into the crushed pretzels, ensuring an even coating.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken on each side for about 3 minutes until golden.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
- For the sauce, combine cheddar cheese, sour cream, and milk in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Pour the mustard-cheddar sauce over the baked chicken and serve immediately.
