Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken Breasts

Zingy, tasty, chicken breasts! These are soooooooo darn good... :)

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3⁄4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise or 1⁄4 cup plain yogurt
• 2  tablespoons honey
• 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1  minced green onion, both white and green part (green onion = scallion)
•  salt
•  fresh ground black pepper
• 1  cup  crushed  pretzel

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Pound/flatten chicken breasts until about 1/4 inch thick - and here's an easy way to pound a chicken breast: put it in a Ziplock bag first, then flatten with the mallet or whatever you're using. It keeps splatters at a minimum. (Flattening the breasts makes them even more tender!).
3. Combine mustard, mayonnaise, honey, cayenne pepper, garlic, green onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Set half of mixture aside to be used as dipping sauce.
5. Coat chicken completely in remaining mustard mixture, and then dredge in pretzel crumbs.
6. Place coated chicken on baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
