These chicken tenders are coated in crushed pretzels for a delightful crunch and tossed in a tangy honey mustard sauce. They’re a fun and flavorful twist on a classic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenders
  • 1.5 cups crushed pretzels
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine crushed pretzels, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs.
  4. In a third shallow dish, place the flour.
  5. Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Dredge each tender first in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat generously with the pretzel mixture, pressing to adhere.
  6. Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  8. While the chicken is baking, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
  9. Once the tenders are cooked, place them in a large bowl. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the tenders and toss gently to coat.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use a food processor to crush the pretzels for a finer coating.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and mustard to your preference.
  • For extra crispy tenders, you can pan-fry them after coating instead of baking.
