Pretzel-Crusted Chicken with Mustard-Dill Sauce

Let me start off by saying that this picture does not do this dish justice. Sometimes lighting, equipment, and kids (who ‘accidentally’ knock the chicken on the floor) conspire against me and the photo ends up looking no where near as fantastic as it tastes.

Using two different kinds of gluten free crunchy coatings, each so different yet equally as tasty. But for me, the sauce  was the BEST part! My kids even request this as the dip for their chicken strips.

Gluten free pretzels and naturally gluten free veggie chips were used to create the different coatings. Grind them up in a food processor until finely ground, or crush them with a mallet.

Get all the coating ingredients in separate dishes, then begin by dipping the chicken in flour, egg, then the crushed coating of your choice.

Combine all sauce ingredients together and whisk until creamy and smooth. If you want a thinner sauce, add a teaspoon of water at a time until you get the consistency you desire.
