Crispy Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken

This Crispy Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken combines the crunch of panko breadcrumbs with the zesty flavor of dill pickles and the creamy richness of parmesan cheese, creating a dish that’s sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Dill pickles, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts with dill pickle slices and a splash of pickle juice. Allow it to marinate in the fridge for at least one hour, though overnight brings the best results.
  2. Prepare the breading station: In one bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. In another bowl, crack an egg and whisk until blended.
  3. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to create the ideal environment for crispy chicken.
  4. Bread the chicken: Remove each marinated chicken piece from the pickle brine, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dip it first into the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating of that flavorful crunch.
  5. Bake: Place the breaded chicken on the lined baking sheet, spacing the pieces evenly. For extra crunch, mist lightly with cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown.
  6. Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve alongside your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Marinate chicken for enhanced flavor. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure crispiness.
