Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard, and one for crushed pretzels.

  5. Arrange the breaded chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  8. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving it drizzled with the warm mustard-cheddar sauce.
