When the thought of another breaded chicken cutlet for dinner leaves you wanting to poke your eyes out of boredom, take a look in the pantry for that half-open bag of pretzels and say hello to a much more exciting chicken dinner.
Use a rolling pin, throw some of those pretzels in a plastic bag and crush ’em up. The salty crunch is the perfect chicken coating (it’s best to eat these immediately as the pretzels will soften up in the fridge as leftovers) and when served on top of creamy (healthy!) zucchini noodles, it’s a pretty well-balanced dinner everyone will love.
