Pretzel Crusted Chicken Bites Recipe

Need to get some aggression out?

You can pound some pretzels.  That should help.  And in the meantime you will be prepping dinner.  How’s that for killing 2 birds with one stone???

This was originally going to leave these chicken breasts whole, but our fridge has decided to start freezing things instead of keeping them at fridge temperature and it didn’t defrost the chicken so well.  To help speed up the defrosting process, I chopped up the chicken into bite size pieces.
