Servings 24 pieces
Calories 63kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken breasts
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs; whisked
- 2 cups chopped sourdough hard pretzels (I used Honey Mustard & Onion)
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Dice the chicken into 1-inch cubes; then finely chop the pretzels in a food processor.
- Prepare three bowls: one for the flour, one for the eggs, and one for the pretzels. Dip the chicken first in the flour, then in the eggs; then in the pretzels.
- Place on a baking sheet, spray the tops with cooking spray and cook for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Serve alone or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
* For uniformity in size, I used chicken tenderloins and cut them into four equal parts. In one pound of chicken, you'll get 6-8 tenderloins depending on their size; which yields between 24-32 chicken nuggets.
