Ingredients

2 1/5 lb chicken breast
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp dijon mustard
salt
black pepper
1 bag pretzels
1 heaping teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups oil
2 carrots

Steps

Pound the chicken breasts into even cutlets and place them in a shallow dish.
Mix the eggs, crushed garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, then coat the chicken and chill it for 2 hours.
Crush the pretzels into fine crumbs and spread them in a shallow dish.
Coat each chicken cutlet with the pretzel crumbs, pressing gently so they stick.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, about 350 F.
Fry the chicken in batches for 4 to 6 minutes per side, until golden and 165 F inside.
Drain the schnitzel on a clean rack or paper towel for 2 minutes before serving.
