Crispy baked chicken tenders coated in crushed pretzels for a delightful crunch. These tenders are easy to make and perfect for a family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into tenders
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the crushed pretzels, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. In another shallow dish, place the flour.
  4. In a third shallow dish, whisk the eggs.
  5. Dip each chicken tender first in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  6. Next, dip the floured tender into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  7. Finally, press the egg-coated tender into the pretzel mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  8. Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the pretzel coating is golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Notes

  • For finer pretzel crumbs, pulse pretzels in a food processor.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard or ketchup.
  • You can substitute whole wheat pretzels for a slightly different flavor.
