PRETZEL CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS
Steps:
- Here's what to do: 1. In a small bowl, whip eggs, with a splash of milk. 2. In a ziploc bag, add pretzels and crush with meat mallet into a semi-coarse texture doesn't need to be fine. 3.

Dip chicken breast into egg, and coat with pretzel batter. 7. Lay into heated pan. Flip breast on occasion, and remove when crust turns a medium dark brown. *Serve with any creamy or mayonnaise based sauces, side of salad and a buttered biscuit or some garlic and cheese toasted bread sticks. Enjoy, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose the right pretzels. For the best flavor and texture, use hard pretzels that are at least 3 months old. These pretzels will have a more浓郁的, buttery flavor and will hold their crunch better when crushed.
- Crush the pretzels finely. You want the pretzel crumbs to be fine enough to coat the chicken evenly, but not so fine that they turn into dust. A food processor is the best tool for this job.
- Use a light hand when coating the chicken. You don't want to end up with a thick layer of pretzel crumbs that will fall off the chicken when you cook it. Just a light coating is all you need.
- Bake the chicken at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Serve the chicken immediately. Pretzel-crusted chicken is best enjoyed hot out of the oven. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven until warmed through.
Conclusion:
Pretzel-crusted chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover pretzels, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
