Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400.

Mix together flour, paprika, and pepper in a shallow dish.

Whisk together whole-grain and yellow mustards, honey, lemon juice, and garlic. Reserve half the honey mustard; transfer remaining half to another dish.

Crush pretzels in a resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin; combine with panko in a third shallow dish.

Dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip in honey mustard, then coat in pretzel mixture.

Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium until it shimmers. Cook chicken on one side until brown and crispy, 5 minutes. Flip chicken, transfer skillet to the oven, and bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees, 10 - 15 minutes or more. Tent chicken with foil; let rest 5 minutes.

Serve chicken with reserved honey mustard and lemon wedges.
