2 tablespoons butter
09 -
2 tablespoons plain flour

1 cup milk

1 cup grated cheddar cheese
12 -
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper as needed
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm your oven to 200°C. Put some parchment on a baking tray. Get three shallow dishes ready with smashed pretzels in one, flour in another, and eggs beaten with milk in the last one.
02 -
Add salt and pepper to your chicken. Roll each piece in flour and shake off what doesn't stick. Dunk in the egg mix, then press into the pretzel bits until fully covered.
03 -
Pour cooking oil into a big pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until it turns golden, roughly 3-4 minutes each side. Move to your baking tray and pop in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it hits 74°C inside.
04 -
Grab a pot and melt your butter on medium heat. Stir in flour and let it cook for a minute or two until it gets a bit brown. Slowly pour in milk while stirring nonstop until it gets thick. Turn down the heat and mix in cheddar until it's all melty. Add your Dijon and shake in some salt and pepper.
05 -
Take your chicken out and let it sit for a bit. Pour the cheesy mustard sauce over the top before you eat.
