Preheat

400 degrees F

Equipment

Food processor, 1 shallow bowl, 1 large mixing bowl, rack, rimmed baking sheet

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

15-20 minutes

Number of Servings

6 or more, depending on ages

Instructions

1. 1/2 lb. (about 4 cups) Snyder's Organic Whole Wheat & Oat Pretzel Sticks

   Place in food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. You should have fine crumbs and large chunks. Transfer to shallow bowl. Clean the processor.

2. 1/2 cup olive oil

3. 1/2 cup whole grain mustard

4. 2 Tbs. Dijon mustard

5. 1/4 cup water

6. 3 Tbs. red wine vinegar or raw apple cider vinegar

   Add to food processor and process until smooth.

7. Sea salt

8. Fresh ground pepper **

   Add to dressing (season to taste). Pour half the dressing into a large bowl, reserving the other half for a dipping sauce.

9. 2 lbs. organic chicken breast tenders

   Add the chicken tenders to the dressing in the large bowl and turn to coat. Then dredge the chicken in the pretzel crumbs and transfer to a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Place in oven and bake about 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Use the reserved dressing as a dipping sauce when serving.

Options

** The Family Food Experts recommend using paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper as a healthier replacement for ground pepper. Also substitute raw apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar. Be sure that your Canola oil is non-GMO! Lisa says, “I used chicken tenders and the kids gobbled them up, especially with the mustard sauce. The pretzels were also good dipped in the extra sauce.” If you have chicken breast halves, try cutting them into strips before dredging them to make chicken fingers that are easier for kids to dip!
