Pretzel-Crusted Chicken with Mixed Greens Recipe image

The secret to crunchy success for this pretzel-crusted chicken recipe is grinding up the sourdough pretzel nuggets until they're finely crushed. You can change up the pretzel flavor by using hot buffalo wing or buttermilk ranch nuggets. -Kerri Balliet, Mequon, Wisconsin

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups sourdough pretzel nuggets
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 Eggland's Best Eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 package (5 ounces) spring mix salad greens

Steps:

  • Place pretzels in a food processor; process until finely crushed. Place pretzels and flour in separate shallow bowls. In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, garlic and pepper. Pound chicken with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. Dip both sides of chicken in flour, egg mixture and then pretzel crumbs.
  • In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook for 4-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and mustard. Remove 2 tablespoons to another bowl for dressing; whisk in remaining oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • Place salad greens in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing; toss to coat. Serve with chicken and remaining mayonnaise mixture.
  • Yield: 4 servings (2/3 cup sauce).
