- 5 tablespoons yellow cornmeal, divided
- 1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard, divided
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup finely crushed unsalted pretzel twists
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1/4 cup canola mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0.
- Place 4 tablespoons cornmeal in a shallow dish. Combine milk, 2 teaspoons mustard, and egg in a separate shallow dish, stirring with a whisk. Combine pretzels, remaining 1 tablespoon cornmeal, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a third shallow dish, stirring with a whisk. Lightly dredge chicken in cornmeal, dip in milk mixture, and dredge in pretzel mixture, pressing gently to coat thoroughly. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes or until browned. Turn chicken over, and place pan in oven. Bake at 375u0b0 for 7 minutes or until done.
- While chicken cooks, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, chives, lemon juice, remaining 1 teaspoon mustard, remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Serve sauce with tenders.
