Ingredients

1 cup spicy brown mustard

1 cup mayonnaise 

1/2 cup honey 

1/2 cup all-purpose flour 

2 cups crushed pretzel twists 

1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders 

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 

4 tablespoons salted butter 

1/4 cup olive oil 

Directions

  1. Mix the brown mustard, mayonnaise and honey in a small bowl. Add 1 cup of the mixture to a shallow bowl. Reserve the rest for serving. Place the flour in another shallow bowl, then spread the pretzel crumbs on a plate.
  2. Season the chicken tenders with the salt. Coat each chicken tender in flour, then dunk in the honey-mustard mixture and coat in the pretzels; set aside on a large plate.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and hot. Add half of the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a rack placed over a sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining butter, oil and chicken.
  4. Serve alongside the reserved honey mustard.

After reading the reviews, I made this tonight. It was great! I really didn’t change anything, substantial, but I took some advice as to the cooking process. <br />I used thin strips of chicken breasts instead of tenders. Then I breaded them per the instructions but took an extra step, putting them on a parchment lined sheet pan, spraying them with cooking spray, then placing them in the fridge for 30 minutes. When pan frying, I adjusted the pan temp between medium low and medium being careful not to burn the outside while cooking them to around 155-170. (You really don’t need to cook them to 165) <br />They turned out very juicy and perfectly browned. I would recommend eating them with a knife and fork, they are a little messy!! Lol!
