Pretzel Crusted Chicken Breast Tenders with honey mustard dipping sauce
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken tenders
- 5 oz greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 oz cheese crackers
- 4 oz crushed pretzels
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Skewers
For the sauce:
- 4 oz greek yogurt
- 2 oz yellow mustard
- 5 oz honey
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with garlic powder and salt. Then place the cheese crackers and pretzels in a large zip bag and crush with a rolling pin. Pour the crumbs onto a plate.
Place the butter on the baking sheet and put it in the over to melt, once melted, ensure the butter coats the entire sheet. Insert a skewer through the center of each chicken tender and use a basting brush to apply a thin coat of yogurt mixture over the entire surface of each chicken tender. Hold the handle and dip each tender in the cracker and pretzel crumbs until thoroughly coated on all sides.
Press each tender into the melted butter on the baking sheet, then flip and lay on the baking sheet so that both sides of the tender are well coated in butter, to form a crispy buttery crust. Bake the tenders for 15-17 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the ingredients for the honey mustard sauce and set aside. Serve the warm tenders alongside the sauce.
