Best Parmesan Pretzel Chicken Recipes

PRETZEL AND PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, basil, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper in a bowl.
• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1 inch.
• Transfer chicken breasts to the bowl with the olive oil marinade; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place pretzels and Parmesan cheese into a food processor; pulse until the pretzels are finely crushed and combined with cheese.
• Mix in parsley and garlic powder by pulsing once or twice. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish.
• Remove chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Press chicken into pretzel mixture, coating both sides.
• Arrange coated chicken in a baking dish. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon additional pretzel mixture on top.
• Bake chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Cover chicken with a foil tent and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
