- 2 chicken breasts
- 3 cups garlic Parmesan flavored pretzels
- 1 egg
- ½ cup vegetable oil for frying
- 3 cups baby romain lettuce
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons miso paste
- ½ cup Muenster cheese
- ¼ cup croutons
- salt & pepper to taste
In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Use a food processor to pulse the pretzels into a powder.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Cut the chicken into long strips.
Dip the chicken strips into the egg, then into the powdered pretzels, then back into the egg and back into the pretzels for a thick breading.
Fry each strip in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, until the breading is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the Greek yogurt, white vinegar, black pepper, and miso paste.
Gently toss the baby romaine lettuce in half of the dressing so it's completely covered. Garnish the salad with any remaining Muenster cheese and croutons.
Reserve any remaining sauce for dipping the chicken in. Serve alongside the appetizer round and enjoy!
