1lbboneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks

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.
