5. Dip/press chicken into crushed pretzels.

DM Alternative: For an even more kid friendly meal, cut the chicken into smaller shapes to form nuggets.

DM Alternative Recipe: This was originally a recipe I found for Pretzel Honey Mustard Chicken. However, no one in our family (except Bernardo) likes mustard so I changed the recipe. If you do enjoy mustard, here is the original recipe.

You will need:

• Above ingredients, minus honey
• 2 tablespoons mustard (on chicken)
• 1/2 cup mustard (for dipping sauce)
• 2 tablespoons chicken broth
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.

3. Place crushed pretzels in a bag.

4. Brush chicken with mustard (both sides of chicken).

5. Dip/press chicken into pretzels.

6. Place on baking sheet.

7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

8. Place 1/2 cup mustard, seasoning, and broth in a microwavable bowl.

9. Microwave for 1 minute, or until heated and serve with chicken.
