  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize the meat.

Coat the Chicken
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Remove each chicken breast from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the pretzel crumb mixture.
Bake the Chicken
  1. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Serve
  1. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  2. Serve the Pretzel Crusted Chicken with honey mustard for dipping.
