Main Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk together eggs and 1 tablespoon mustard in a shallow bowl; stir together pretzels, breadcrumbs, and oil in a separate shallow bowl.
Pound chicken to an even thickness between plastic wrap using a meat mallet. Dip chicken in beaten egg mixture, letting excess drip off; dredge in pretzel mixture, pressing to coat.
Place coated chicken on a greased wire rack on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until chicken is done.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Add milk; cook 3 to 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, or until slightly thickened.
Stir in cheese, 2 tablespoon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper; cook until cheese melts and sauce is thickened. Serve sauce with chicken.
Side Dish Instructions
Cook potatoes and broccoli according to package directions.
Toss broccoli with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
