Here’s some  “how to” photos:

DSC_6046

All you need are some pretzels, honey roasted peanuts, an egg and chicken tenders

DSC_6047

Put the pretzels and nuts into a food processor and pulse until they are evenly ground.

Get it pretty finely ground so it will adhere to the chicken

Dip the tenders into the nut mix, then into the egg wash, then back into the nut mix

and place in into a shallow baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray.  Drizzle with a little Olive oil.  At this point you can refrigerate it for baking later.  When ready to bake, put into a 350 oven for about 30 minutes.

To make the mustard sauce:
