Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard in another, and the crushed pretzels in a third bowl.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat in the crushed pretzels.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until heated through.
Gradually add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
