Pretzel Chicken

I'm always trying to find new ways to use chicken cutlets and also make it interesting for my kids.  My oldest daughter LOVES this version of breaded chicken cutlets using crush pretzels.

Ingredients:

6 chicken cutlets

3 cups of crushed pretzel pieces

2 eggs, beaten

salt and pepper to taste

2 tabelspoons vegetable oil

Preparation:

Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside.  Crush preztels in a large ziploc bag using a rolling pin or some other heavy kitchen object (be creative),  Dredge chicken cutlets in beaten egg and then coat in crushed pretzel pieces until cutlet is covered with preztels on both sides.  Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet, when hot add the preztel coated cutlets and cook on med/hi heat until brown on both sides.  Transfer cutlets to a greased baking pan and finish cooking in the oven for an additional 7-10 minutes.
