Steps

  • 1

    Pulse the pretzel sticks in a food processor or crush by hand in a resealable bag until they’ve turned into a powder the texture of panko breadcrumbs.

    In separate shallow bowl, whisk mustard, beer or cider, honey and thyme together.

    Spray a wire rack with cooking spray and place atop a sheet tray. Dip each chicken breast in the mustard mixture, then dredge in the pretzel crumbs to coat evenly and place on the wire rack. Spray the top of each chicken breast lightly with cooking spray.
