Pretzel Chicken

  These yummy pretzel breaded chicken tenders are so good they can be eaten alone or dipped in honey mustard. Since the pretzels are used as a coating, this recipe is really not too high in sodium. I also baked them instead of frying, which I prefer because it is not as messy, but you still get good flavor from the healthy oil used to coat the pan. 

Ingredients:
3 handfuls pretzels
3 Tbsp. canola or vegetable oil
1 pound chicken tenderloins
2 eggs
Honey mustard dressing

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 
Put pretzels in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin. 
Add oil to a baking dish. 
Beat the eggs. Dredge chicken in eggs first, then in the crushed pretzels, coating thoroughly. Place in oiled baking dish. 
Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway through. 
Serve with honey mustard dressing, if desired.
