Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard in another, and crushed pretzels in a third bowl.
Coat each chicken breast first in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally press into the crushed pretzels.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
While baking, prepare the mustard-cheddar sauce by heating milk and Dijon mustard in a saucepan; stir in shredded cheddar until melted and smooth.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving with the sauce.
