PRETZEL CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Chop the pretzels into small pieces; discard fine pretzel dust. Toss the pieces with the Parmesan and butter; set aside. Cut each chicken breast through the center, leaving one side intact, so it opens like a book. Stir the mustard with the green onion, salt and pepper. Brush all over the inside of the chicken. Place a slice of ham in the centre of each piece; fold over to enclose.
• Brush the tops of the chicken with egg and sprinkle with the pretzel mixture over top; press lightly to adhere. Arrange chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165ºF (74ºC) when inserted into the center of the largest chicken breast.

Add chicken; cook for 4-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and mustard.

PRETZEL-CRUSTED CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

PRETZEL-CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS WITH CURRY KETCHUP

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, curry powder and fennel pollen. Set aside to let the flavors relax as you prepare the chicken.
• Slice the chicken breasts at a slight angle, about 1/3-inch thick, making 4-inch-long chicken fingers. Place the flour, eggs and pretzel crumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Season the flour and egg each with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Working one at a time, dip the chicken fingers in the flour, then in the egg and, lastly, in the pretzel crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the oil to the pan. When hot, add half of the chicken fingers -- the chicken should begin to sizzle gently when it hits the pan. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken fingers, wiping out the pan between uses.
• Serve warm with the curry ketchup for dipping.

PRETZEL-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into 4 or 5 strips.
• In a large plastic bag, combine the 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, salt and pepper, and buttermilk. Mix and add chicken strips. Allow to marinate about 20 minutes, no longer than 30 minutes because after that the chicken will start to "cook.".
• Meanwhile, place pretzels in another large plastic bag and smash them into coarse crumbs (Mitzewich used pretzel sticks). You will need 2-3 cups. Place the crumbs in a shallow bowl.
• Remove the chicken from marinade, letting the excess marinade drain off.
• Add a few chicken strips to the crumbs and press the crumbs into the chicken.
• Oil a baking sheet and place coated strips on sheet. Repeat coating procedure with remaining strips.
• When all the strips are on the baking sheet, drizzle the melted butter over them. The more butter you use here, the browner and richer the finished strips will be.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven 20-30 minutes.
• Thin some additional Dijon mustard with additional rice vinegar and drizzle this mixture over the cooked chicken.
