Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken
Looking to add something new to your weeknight meal roster? Look no further! This quick-baked chicken will become a favourite around your dinner table. (The kids loved it!)
Using chicken thighs keeps this bake juicy, no dry chicken here! It’s got a great crunch and a classic flavour profile with a scratch-made honey mustard sauce that can pull double duty.
(This same recipe would be fantastic on some boneless pork chops as well.)
Serve alongside some green veggies and roasted potatoes and Voila! Dinner on the table in about 30 minutes.
And if you’re a dipper, you can double the honey mustard sauce and set half aside, keep in the fridge until ready to serve and use as a fabulous dipping sauce! So good!!
