1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 lb chicken tenders or chicken breast cut into strips
2 cups Glutino Pretzel sticks
1 large egg

Dipping Sauce Ingredients

1/8 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
1
Wash your hands with soap and water before beginning.
2
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
For the dipping sauce, combine mayonnaise, honey, grainy Dijon mustard, and garlic powder in a small bowl and set aside.
4
In a small dish, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly on both sides of the chicken tenders.
5
Pulse the Glutino gluten-free pretzels in a small food processor until they are evenly crushed but not powdery. Place the pretzel crumbs in a shallow dish.
6
Lightly whisk egg and milk in a second dish.
7
Add gluten-free flour to a third dish. Place the dishes in the following order: flour, egg mixture, and pretzels.
8
Dip each tender into flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
9
Last, coat the chicken in pretzel crumbs and place it on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray liberally with PAM cooking spray.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes. Turn tenders over halfway through cooking and spray with additional cooking spray.
11
An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with the dipping sauce.

Garnish with a green salad with fresh vegetables to make a healthy meal.
