Mustard-pretzel crusted chicken

In my household we eat a LOT of chicken breast! So, it is always a challenge to invent new ways of cooking it. Who wants the same ol' food everyday? Not me!
I started out with 2 chicken breasts, 1/4 cup of brown mustard, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, a dash of water, a dash of oil, season salt and pepper. Marinate for 20 min- 2 hours.
While that is marinating I took 1/2 bag of honey mustard pretzels, placed in a ziploc bag and crushed with a mallet.
Once your chicken breasts are marinated, just coat with the pretzels. No need for egg wash or anything! Place on a baking sheet(I also like to place the chicken on a cooling rack over the baking sheet so the chicken is crispy all around), and put in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 min. (or until a thermometer reads 165 degrees).

And waaaalllllaaaaahhhhh! Easy, delicious and very quick!
Happy eating y'all!
