This is a favorite of my family's - and so easy to make. I got the recipe from a Rachael Ray magazine a few years ago. It's especially good when apples are in season. If you have all the ingredients on hand, you can probably throw down this dinner in under 20 minutes.
Peel and chop 6 apples. Place them in a saucepan with 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice and a dash of cinnamon. Let it all simmer until the apples cook down.
Butterfly two chicken breasts (handy video if you've never done it before). Whisk together an egg and 1/4 cup milk. Crush up a few handfuls of pretzels. If you have kids who like to help in the kitchen, give them a baggie with 1 cup of pretzels and a rolling pin and let them go nuts. When they get done hitting each other with the rolling pin, take it away and crush the pretzels yourself.
Dip the chicken breasts into the egg mixture, then press into the crushed pretzels. Lay the coated chicken pieces in a hot pan with a bit of oil. Fry until done through and crispy on both sides. Add a dash of pepper if you want (with the pretzels, it's all perfectly salted!) and set aside. Smash up your apples (just a bit, not into smooth sauce) and serve alongside your pretzel chicken.
