I'm allergic to zucchini. Is there anything else I can use instead?

I'm not a big fan of chicken fingers, but I'm willing to try this recipe because it looks so good.

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a food processor. Do you think I could make the pretzel crumbs in a blender?

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. My family loves the chicken fingers and the zucchini.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken fingers didn't turn out crispy. They were still good, but they weren't as good as I had hoped.

I made a few changes to the recipe. I used panko breadcrumbs instead of pretzel crumbs, and I added some garlic powder to the chicken. The chicken fingers turned out great!

These pretzel-crusted chicken fingers and zucchini were a hit with my family! The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the zucchini was perfectly tender. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
