  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed pretzels.

Notes

Serve hot, drizzled with hot honey. Pairs well with coleslaw, fries, or salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results. For a crunchier texture, double-coat the chicken and try different pretzel flavors.
