1/3 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized chunks
3 egg whites beaten
4 oz salted pretzels crushed into crumbs (you can do this manually, but it is easier to toss the pretzels in a food processor or blender)

Pre-heat the oven to 425. Place an oven-safe cooling rack on a baking sheet and lightly mist with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, mustard powder, pepper and garlic powder. Place the chicken chunks into a gallon Ziploc bag and cover with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake until the chicken pieces are completely coated.
Place the egg whites in a small bowl and the pretzel crumbs in a shallow dish. Dip each flour-coated chicken chunk into the egg whites and then into the pretzel crumbs – coat liberally. Place each coated piece of chicken onto the prepared rack on the baking sheet. When all the chicken is prepared, bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes until chunks are cooked through.
