Soak skewers in water for about 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Put butter on the baking pan and place it in the oven to melt.

In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and salt, then blend together and set aside.

In a Ziploc bag, crush pretzels and crackers, then lay them out on a plate.

Take chicken tenders and thread them onto the skewers, about 3/4 of the way up.

Coat each chicken tender with the Greek yogurt mixture, ensuring it's fully covered.

Dip the yogurt-coated chicken tenders into the crushed pretzel and cracker mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Place the coated chicken tenders in the baking dish with melted butter, flipping to coat both sides.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes.

For the dipping sauce, mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of mustard, and 1/3 cup of honey together until well combined.
