Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it with cooking spray or oil.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station: place all-purpose flour in the first bowl, whisk eggs and Dijon mustard in the second bowl, and place pretzel crumbs in the third bowl.
Coat each chicken breast in the flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and then press it into the pretzel crumbs for an even coating.
Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and crust is golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by combining milk and shredded cheddar cheese in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted and smooth, adding more Dijon mustard to taste, along with salt and pepper.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with the warm mustard-cheddar sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
