Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Spray a large baking pan with non-stick spray.  Place the chicken into a plastic bag and pound each breast until 1/4 inch thick.  Set the chicken aside.

 

Step 2:

In a bowl big enough to dredge the chicken in, combine pretzel crumbs, mustard powder, onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Step 4:

While the chicken is baking prepare the honey mustard sauce.  You can make your own or buy, this sauce is a little less sweet and tangier than store bought.

In a small bowl whisk together Dijon, vinegar, mayonnaise, honey, olive oil and a pinch of black pepper and 1 tablespoon of water.
