This Crispy Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken offers a zesty twist on a classic favorite. It features tender chicken breasts marinated in dill pickle juice, then coated in a crispy breading of flour, eggs, seasoned breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. The chicken is pan-fried until golden brown and cooked to perfection, delivering a delightful crunch and tangy flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil (enough to cover the bottom of your skillet)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts and dill pickle juice. Ensure the chicken is fully submerged. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or longer for enhanced flavor.
  2. Prepare three shallow bowls for the breading station. In the first bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. In the third bowl, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Heat enough cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat to cover the bottom. The oil is ready when a dropped breadcrumb sizzles gently.
  4. Remove each chicken breast from the dill pickle marinade, shaking off any excess juice. Dredge it first in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  5. Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and crispy dill pickle parmesan.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the crispy dill pickle parmesan chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  7. Allow the crispy dill pickle parmesan chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices, resulting in tender, juicy bites.
  8. Serve the crispy dill pickle parmesan chicken immediately or store it in an airtight container for future meals.
