Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Set up three breading stations: flour in one bowl, whisked eggs and mustard in another, and crushed pretzels in the third.
- Coat chicken in flour, dip in egg-mustard mixture, then press into the crushed pretzels.
- Arrange chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- For the sauce, combine milk, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth, then season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- Let chicken rest for a few minutes after baking, then drizzle with mustard-cheddar sauce and serve.

Notes
For best results, use a meat thermometer to check chicken temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
