Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken Tenders Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the sweet potato, red potato, red onion, Brussels sprouts, green beans, and carrots on the baking sheet in separate piles.
• Drizzle everything with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Rub the seasoning into the vegetables until evenly coated and spread flat on the baking sheet, keeping the vegetables separate. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
• Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in a greased cast-iron skillet. Season with salt and pepper, then brush generously with the honey-mustard sauce. Flip the chicken thighs over and repeat, seasoning with salt and pepper, then brushing with the rest of the honey-mustard sauce.
• Place the vegetables and the chicken in the oven on separate racks. Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) . (Optional: Remove the vegetables once cooked and broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes, or until the skin crisps up.)
• Let everything cool, then distribute into resealable containers, mixing up the combination of vegetables so that you get something a little different each day.
• Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together Happy Belly Honey Mustard, Greek yogurt, Happy Belly Large Eggs, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth. Add the chicken tenders and toss to coat completely in the honey mustard mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or overnight.
• In a separate medium bowl, stir together the garlic powder, Happy Belly Onion Powder, cayenne, Happy Belly Celery Salt, remaining 2 teaspoons of black pepper, and the Happy Belly Paprika.
• Add the pretzel twists to a food processor and pulse into coarse crumbs. Transfer about half of the pretzel crumbs to the bowl with the spice mixture. Pulse the remaining pretzel crumbs until finely ground, then add to the bowl with the spice mixture and stir to combine.
• Heat 2 inches of Happy Belly Vegetable Oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat until the temperature reaches 365-375°F (185-190°C). Line a plate with paper towels.
• Toss the honey mustard chicken tenders, a few at a time, in the pretzel crumbs until fully coated.
• Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, fry the chicken tenders in the hot oil for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown all over. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Assemble the lunchboxes: Pack the honey mustard pretzel chicken tenders with a side of Happy Belly Honey Mustard for dipping, a few Amazon Fresh Brand Carrots and Celery Sticks, and Amazon Fresh Brand Aplenty Sea Salt Pita Chips.
• Enjoy!
