This Crispy Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken is marinated in dill pickle juice for unbeatable juiciness, then coated in a Parmesan-breadcrumb crust and fried to golden perfection.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup dill pickle juice from a jar of pickles
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs whisked
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Cover with dill pickle juice and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Set up three shallow dishes: flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper; whisked eggs; and Parmesan mixed with breadcrumbs.
- Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in egg, then press into breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture until coated.
- Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temp).
