5. Gluten-Free Pretzel-Crusted Chicken by Chani Salzer
Although I don’t eat gluten free, my husband does, so I’ve had to learn how to adjust my cooking. I found out about gluten-free pretzels— and I know it sounds crazy, but I’m addicted to them. A few non-GF people told me they won’t make this recipe without GF pretzels because they add great flavor and texture. I have to agree!
