Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Crush the pretzels in a food processor until finely chopped and set aside.
In one bowl, beat the eggs until frothy; in another bowl, mix crushed pretzels with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat generously with the pretzel mix.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
