Pretzel-Crusted Chicken with Mixed Greens 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

Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Fingers with Curry Ketchup image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 31m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
1/4 teaspoon fennel pollen
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups ground pretzels
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, curry powder and fennel pollen. Set aside to let the flavors relax as you prepare the chicken.
  • Slice the chicken breasts at a slight angle, about 1/3-inch thick, making 4-inch-long chicken fingers. Place the flour, eggs and pretzel crumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Season the flour and egg each with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Working one at a time, dip the chicken fingers in the flour, then in the egg and, lastly, in the pretzel crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the oil to the pan. When hot, add half of the chicken fingers -- the chicken should begin to sizzle gently when it hits the pan. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken fingers, wiping out the pan between uses.
  • Serve warm with the curry ketchup for dipping.

PRETZEL-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS



Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Tenders image

This recipe, a kid pleaser, is from John Mitzewich at the About.com site. Chicken tenders are marinated in a tasty concoction then coated with coarse pretzel pieces. They are baked, not fried. Adults will like this tasty finger food, too!

Provided by Lorraine of AZ

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, plus additional
1 tablespoon orange marmalade
2 tablespoons rice vinegar, plus additional
salt and pepper
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 -3 cups coarse pretzel crumbs
vegetable oil
2 tablespoons melted butter (or more)

Steps:

  • Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into 4 or 5 strips.
  • In a large plastic bag, combine the 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, salt and pepper, and buttermilk. Mix and add chicken strips. Allow to marinate about 20 minutes, no longer than 30 minutes because after that the chicken will start to "cook.".
  • Meanwhile, place pretzels in another large plastic bag and smash them into coarse crumbs (Mitzewich used pretzel sticks). You will need 2-3 cups. Place the crumbs in a shallow bowl.
  • Remove the chicken from marinade, letting the excess marinade drain off.
  • Add a few chicken strips to the crumbs and press the crumbs into the chicken.
  • Oil a baking sheet and place coated strips on sheet. Repeat coating procedure with remaining strips.
  • When all the strips are on the baking sheet, drizzle the melted butter over them. The more butter you use here, the browner and richer the finished strips will be.
  • Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven 20-30 minutes.
  • Thin some additional Dijon mustard with additional rice vinegar and drizzle this mixture over the cooked chicken.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

Vegetable oil, for frying (about 3 cups)
3 cups lightly crushed salted pretzel rods (about 6 ounces)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more for seasoning
2 large eggs
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 (6-ounce) chicken cutlets, 1/4-inch thick, pounded if necessary (1 1/2 pounds total)
1 1/2 pounds cauliflower, chopped (1 small head cauliflower)
3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup whole milk, or more to taste
4 cups arugula or baby spinach
1 lemon, halved
Extra-virgin olive oil, for serving

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. Fill a medium saucepan with 1/4 inch of water; add cauliflower and garlic and cover the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until florets are easily pierced with a paring knife, about 8 minutes. Drain and reserve.
  • Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat until it registers 350°F on a deep-fat thermometer, or until a pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled into the oil.
  • While oil is heating, add pretzels to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until some crumbs are ground fine but some are still coarse pea-sized pieces. Spread pretzel crumbs on a large plate or another rimmed baking sheet. Wipe out bowl of food processor and reserve for cauliflower pureé.
  • Place flour on another large plate or rimmed baking sheet and use a whisk to gently blend in 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a shallow bowl, beat eggs, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until blended. Working with one cutlet at a time, coat with flour on both sides, then dip in egg (allowing excess to drip off), then dredge in pretzel crumbs, pressing them to adhere.
  • Working in batches if necessary, fry cutlets until golden brown and fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer cutlets to wire rack to drain, and season them with salt.
  • Once cauliflower and garlic are cooked and drained, add them to the bowl of the food processor along with the butter, milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Purée until smooth, adding more milk if necessary. Season to taste.
  • To serve, divide arugula among four plates. Season with salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon, and a drizzle of olive oil. Divide cauliflower purée among the plates, and top with chicken cutlets.
