Ingredients
Chicken and Coating
- 4 large chicken breast beaten thin
- 2 cups pretzel crumbs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tablespoon butter
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup milk

Instructions
Preparation
- Set up your dredging station: in a small bowl, whisk eggs together. In another bowl, stir together 1 cup flour with seasoned salt, pepper and garlic powder. In a third bowl, add pretzel crumbs.
- Dredge chicken first in seasoned flour, then dip in egg, then roll in pretzel crumbs. Place chicken in air fryer. Air fry for 10 minutes at 390 degrees, flipping halfway through. Check chicken to make sure internal temperature is 165 (you may need to air fry for a few more minutes).
- Make the cheesy mustard sauce: melt butter in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking, for about a minute. Slowly stir in milk, whisking constantly. Add pepper and salt to taste and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add mustard and cheese to sauce and remove from heat. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is thick. Serve chicken with sauce on top or on the side.
