Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (4-oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons honey mustard
1 1/2 cups mini pretzels, crushed (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
Nonstick olive oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap just until even thickness.
  • Place egg whites and mustard in a shallow dish; beat with a fork to mix. In a larger shallow dish, combine crushed pretzels, cheese, and thyme.
  • Dip chicken into the egg white mixture. Press into crumb mixture to coat. Place chicken in a single layer on an ungreased foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle chicken with any remaining crumb mixture and press lightly. Coat with cooking spray.
  • Bake chicken, uncovered, for 14 to 18 minutes or until no longer pink (170°F).
