Ingredients

For the Chicken

4 pieces boneless chicken breasts pounded to an even thickness
1 cup pretzel crumbs finely crushed pretzels
1 cup buttermilk for marinating
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

For Serving

2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped for garnish
1 cup dipping sauce such as honey mustard or ranch

Method

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the pounded chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Coat the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off.
Dredge each chicken breast in the pretzel crumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

Bake the Chicken

Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Garnish and Serve

Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving with your choice of dipping sauce.
