  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Set up your breading station: one bowl for flour, one for beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard, and one for crushed pretzels.
  4. Bread each chicken breast by coating it in flour, dipping it in the egg mixture, then pressing it into the pretzels.
