Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken Tenders

August 31, 2021 Amanda Plott

I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight! I think that’s how the song goes anyway. These Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken Tenders are a fun and interesting way to serve up what could otherwise be a boring chicken dinner. By crusting these chicken tenders in some honey mustard sauce and then coating them in crushed pretzels, they come out perfectly crisp and tasty.

The homemade honey mustard sauce here is the key here and when paired with the pretzel crust on these chicken tenders, it’s even better. You can use any hard pretzels for these that you want for these. Yes, even the flavored ones!

To lighten these tenders up, all I did was swap out some of the mayonnaise for greek yogurt. Yep, that simple! Everything else about the honey mustard sauce and the chicken tenders is supple simple and guilt free.

I served my chicken tenders with plenty of sauce for dipping, and some steamed broccoli for a well rounded, simple, and delicious chicken dinner.
