PRETZEL CRUSTED CHICKEN BREAST WITH CHEDDAR CHEESY MUSTARD SAUCE
This is NOT a Jessica Simpson recipe (she merely put it togehter... thanks houseblend for the advice...), but I love Jessica Simpson and trust her taste! It's gotta be easy if she can do it! She showed Rachael Ray (who owns the copyright to the recipe) how to put this dish together on Rachael's new show. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure I will in the next couple of weeks or so, then I will revise this description. Enjoy:

Steps:
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet with a 1/4-inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle a little water into four medium food storage baggies. Place 1 chicken breast in each bag and seal it up, pushing out excess air. Use the bottom of a heavy pot or pan and pound each breast until flat, just shy of busting out of the bag. Repeat with the other 3 chicken breasts.
- Place the pretzels in a food processor or blender and grind until fine. Transfer the ground pretzels to a shallow dish, add the thyme and some salt and pepper.
- Crack and beat 2 eggs in a second shallow dish with a splash of water.
- One at a time, coat each chicken breast in the egg and then the ground pretzels.
- Add the pretzel-coated chicken breast to the hot oil. Cook in a single layer, in 2 batches if necessary, about 3 or 4 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear and breading is evenly browned.
- While the chicken is frying, in a medium saucepot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the flour to it.
- Cook flour and butter for 1 minute and then whisk in the milk.
- When the milk comes to a bubble, stir in the cheese and mustard with a wooden spoon.
- Season with a little salt and pepper, and remove cheese sauce from the heat.
- Transfer the fried pretzel-crusted chicken breast to a serving plate, drizzle with the mustard cheddar sauce, then sprinkle with a little parsley, finely chopped onion and sour dill pickle.
- Serve lemon wedges alongside.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Crush the pretzels in a food processor or bash up in a plastic bag using a rolling pin. Transfer pretzel crumbs to a plate.

- In a small bowl, mix the mustard, honey and vinegar. Reserve 4 of the chicken thighs for lunch. (You can use them in the Caesar salad with crispy chicken recipe, look at 'Goes well with...') Serve the remaining chicken with the sauce and green veg or salad and potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, & then coat the inside of a 13"x9" glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a food processor, place pretzels, bacon, cheese & parsley, then cover & process until coarsely chopped, before transferring to a shallow bowl.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, cider, flour & spices.
- Dip chicken breasts in the cider mixture, then in the pretzel mixture before placing the breasts in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
- Great served with a mix of honey Dijon mustard & apricot preserves.
Tips:
- For a crispier crust, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
- Be sure to coat the chicken breasts in the egg wash and breadcrumbs evenly, so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken breasts. If you do, they won't cook evenly.
- Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Pretzel-crusted chicken breast with cheddar cheesy mustard sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is juicy and tender, the crust is crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and cheesy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
