Ingredients

1 zip lock type plastic food storage bag

4 small, boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 5-ounce bag of salted pretzels, any shape

1 tablespoon thyme

Salt and pepper

2 eggs

Vegetable oil, for frying

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

2 cups milk

3/4 pound/ 2 1/2 cups, cheddar cheese, grated

2 heaping tablespoons spicy brown mustard

Directions

Pre heat oil in a pan to a medium heat (1/4 inch deep).

Place 1 chicken breast (and a little water) in the bag and seal it up, pushing out excess air. Use the bottom of a heavy pot or pan and pound each breast until flat, just shy of busting out of the bag. Repeat with the other 3 chicken breasts.

Blend pretzels in a food processer until fine.

Mix ground pretzels, thyme and ssome salt and pepper in a shallow dish (like a dinner plate)

Beat eggs and pour into a second dinner plate with a splash of water added.

One at a time coat each fillet in egg and then ground pretzels.

Add chicken to pan (do 2 batches if necessary - about 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through).

To make cheesy mustard sauce sauce

Heat butter in a pan over medium heat.

Add flour and cook for 1 minute.

Whisk in milk and when it starts to thicken add cheese and mustard and stir (figure of 8s!)

When it has melted completely its ready - drizzle over chicken and serve with lots of veg or salad.

I saw this as chicken strips and zuccini in her magazine and HAD to try it! We had a really hard time keeping the pretzels on during cooking but they tasted amazing anyway! Our cheesy mustard sauce was far too thick to drizzle or dip... we had to smear it on with knives. Again, tho, the flavor was AMAZING!!!!

Made this dish again - my dad said it was the best chicken he ever tasted - thanks dad! anyway i actually think thats too much thyme aspecially if u dont love thyme. next time i will probably use half a table spoon. also i think i will try to see if it bakes well at all, as it soaked up a whole lotta olive oil!!!
