Honey-Roasted Peanuts & Pretzels Chicken Strips

You don't have to feel so guilty eating these chicken strips, since they are coated with crushed pretzels and honey- roasted peanuts! :) Not many steps to make, you can easily make these in 15-20 minutes.


Ingredients:

• 1 bag of pretzels
• 1/2 cup of honey roasted peanuts
• 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 8 chicken tenders or a pound of chicken
• 2 eggs
• salt and pepper
• honey mustard, ranch, or barbeque sauce for dipping, ( I did a spicy mayo which consists of red garlic chili paste, mayo, and sriracha)

Instructions:

1. Grind peanuts and pretzals in food processor until fine. Pour into a shallow dish. Add thyme, salt, and pepper.
2. Crack eggs and mix well in a seperate bowl. 
3. Slice chicken breast into strips. Coat chicken in peanut/pretzal mixture, then egg, then the mixture again. Place on a plate.
4. On medium heat, pour enough olive oil to take 1/4 inch on the side of the skillet. When oil is hot, with a pair of tongs place coated chicken to cook on each side for about 3- 4 minutes.
5. Take out and place on paper towels to soak up excess oil, when cooking the rest of the strips.
