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

I tried this recipe and the chicken was dry and overcooked. I wouldn't recommend it.

The pretzel crust on this chicken is everything! It's so crispy and flavorful. I served it with a honey mustard dipping sauce, and it was perfect.
