- Cut chicken breasts into strips.
- Pour whole wheat flour into a shallow dish. Season with pepper, if desired.
- Add 2 eggs to another shallow dish, and beat well with a fork.
- Add Pretzel Crisps to a third dish, and use the bottom of your measuring cup to smash the pretzels into small pieces. (If preferred, you can do this with the pretzels in a plastic bag so it doesn't make a mess.)

- Then dip in egg and let any excess drip off.
- Transfer chicken to the crushed pretzels and coat completely.
- Arrange pretzel-crusted chicken strips evenly on prepared baking sheet.
