Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beat eggs with Dijon mustard in another, and fill a third bowl with crushed pretzels.
Coat each chicken breast by dipping into flour, then egg mixture, and finally pressing into crushed pretzels.

For the sauce, heat milk and Dijon mustard in a saucepan; gradually stir in shredded cheddar until melted and smooth.
Serve the chicken drizzled with the mustard-cheddar sauce.
