This is one of those oh-so-easy dishes that I could easily make for dinner. I love pretzels and they’re so versatile and they can be used in many dishes, snacks, desserts with a little imagination. If you are the main food shopper in your household, browse at the snack aisle. A big bag of pretzel twists for example are the cheapest of all snacks you will find. As for brands…pick one…they are plenty. This is one great recipe I found browsing the net.
PRETZEL-CRUSTED CHICKEN NUGGETS
Ingredients
2 cups salted pretzel twists (about 3 oz.)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan /2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs
1 pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Place pretzels and Parmesan in a food processor and process until coarsely ground and well mixed, 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Combine flour and pepper in a separate bowl. Beat eggs with 1 tsp. water in a third bowl.
3. Roll a chicken piece in flour mixture until thoroughly coated. Dip in eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Transfer to pretzel mixture and turn until thoroughly coated. Place chicken on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces of chicken. Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
