Pretzel Crusted Chicken Strips Recipes

BAKED PRETZEL CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a baking sheet.
• Slice chicken into 1 1/2 inch strips. Place pretzels in a medium bowl. Whisk together eggs and water in a second bowl. In a third bowl stir together flour, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Toss chicken strips in the flour mixture to coat, then dredge in the egg mixture being sure to coat all sides. Lastly, roll chicken pieces in the crushed pretzels and place in a single layer on the greased baking sheet.
• Bake chicken for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and browned. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

PRETZEL-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 ̊. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet. Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper, using about 1 teaspoon of each total.
• Stir together the mustard, mayonnaise and honey in a small bowl. Remove 1 cup of the mixture to a shallow bowl, reserving the rest for serving.
• Place the flour in another shallow bowl. Spread the pretzels on a plate. Coat each piece of chicken in the flour, then quickly dunk in the honey-mustard mixture and then coat in the pretzels. Set on a large plate.
• Heat 2 tablespoons each butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the oil is hot. Add 3 pieces of the crusted chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to the rack and place in the oven.
• Repeat with the remaining butter, oil and chicken. Add the chicken to the pan in the oven to keep warm.
• Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add the broccoli, cover and cook until bright green and just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve the chicken and broccoli with the reserved honey-mustard sauce for dipping.

HONEY MUSTARD PRETZEL-COATED CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season chicken strips with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine honey mustard with egg substitute and whisk well. Submerge the chicken and set aside to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place pretzels in sealable plastic bag, seal, and finely crush through the bag with a meat mallet or other heavy utensil. Add sugar, reseal, and shake to mix. Spread the mixture out on a large plate or in a large dish. Set aside.
• Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Using tongs, transfer chicken strips to the pretzel-sugar mixture and thoroughly coat. Then transfer them to the baking sheet. (Discard excess mustard-egg mixture.) Mist the tops of the strips with nonstick spray.
• Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through baking, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Eat and enjoy!

PRETZEL CRUSTED CHICKEN STRIPS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse pretzels until finely ground. Transfer to a deep bowl. Slice a chicken breast into thin strips. Heat a large frying pan with oil about ½-inch up the sides. Dredge the chicken strips in flour, milk and then pretzel crumbs. Fry until golden and crispy on one side, then gently turn over and finish cooking the other side. Cooking time will depend on how thick you slice your chicken. Transfer to a plate prepared with a few sheets of paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
