Pretzel Crusted Honey Mustard Chicken Strips

I tried a new one from Dashing Dish.com and it was a huge hit with my hubs. I liked it too and it was super easy. Only 8 PointsPlus from Weight Watchers per serving. Serves 4. Each serving is approximately, 3-4 strips. I also served mine with steamed, fresh green beans. Which of course add zero points.


Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken, cut into strips
  • 3 tbs honey
  • 2 tbs mustard
  • 1 cup pretzels, finely crushed (I prefer whole wheat pretzels, or Newman’s Own protein pretzels)
  • 1/8 tsp salt, pepper, and garlic powder
  • Optional: 1 packet stevia (or sweetener of choice) for an extra touch of sweetness

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees, spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Mix together honey and mustard in one small bowl. Mix together crushed pretzels and seasonings, and place in another small bowl.
3. Place chicken in honey mustard mix, then toss in pretzel mix making sure it is coated on both sides. 
4. Lay chicken strips on baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, flip, then bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

5. You can serve with mustard or honey or a combo of the two for a dipping sauce, but I didn't think it needed to be dipped. 

Enjoy!
