Pretzel Crusted Chicken Breasts--Rachael Ray recipe

As promised, here's the other recipe you guys requested.

Pretzel Crusted Chicken Breasts with a Cheddar-Mustard Sauce

4 medium plastic food storage bags
4 small whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 5-ounce bage of salted pretzels, any shape
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Eggs
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cups grated sharp yellow Cheddar cheese
1 cup grated extra sharp white Cheddar cheese
2 heaping tablespoons spicy brown mustard
Coarse salt
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
1/4 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 large sour dill pickle, finely chopped
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

Sprinkle a little water into the food storage baggies. Place one chicken breast in each bag and seal it up, pushing out the excess air. Use a mallet or the bottom of a heavy pot or pan and pound each breast until flat, just shy of busting out of the bag. Repeat with the other 3 chicken breasts.

Place the pretzels in a food processor or blender and grind until fine. Transfer the ground pretzels to a shallow dish and add the thyme and some pepper. Crack and beat 2 eggs in a second shallow dish with a splash of water. Working with 1 pounded chicken breast at a time, coat the breast in the ground pretzels, then in the eggs, then in the pretzels again. Preheat a large skillet with 1/4 inch of vegetable oil; add the pretzel-coated chicken breasts to the hot oil. Cook in a single layer, in 2 batches if necessary, about 3 or 4 minutes on each side, until cutlets' juices run clear and the breading is evenly browned.

While the chicken is frying, in a medium sauce pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the flour to it. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk. When the milk comes to a bubble, stir in the cheeses and mustard with a wooden spoon. Season with a little salt and pepper and remove the cheese sauce from the heat.

Transfer the fried pretzel-crusted chicken breasts to the serving plates, drizzle with the cheddar-mustard sauce, and then sprinkle with a little parsley, finely chopped onions, and the finely chopped pickles. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges alongside.

Makes 4 servings

It's a great recipe! I make this often, freeze it for a few hours in a single layer on a cookie sheet (so they don't attach). Then I put them all in a ziploc bag in the freezer to use whenever.

We have made these also but basically just using the pretzels (no spices or sauce) and they are yummy!

Oh, one more thing, I might be missing it but how much butter are you supposed to melt with the flour? I melted about a tbsp and it worked but I want to know anyway. THANKS!!

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Think I left that ingredient out by accident.
