Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Set up a breading station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard, and a third with crushed pretzels.
Coat each chicken breast in flour, then egg mixture, followed by pretzels.
Place on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F).
