Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup crushed dill pickles

Coating Mixture

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup crushed dill pickles
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Dredging and Cooking

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Soak the chicken breasts in dill pickle juice for at least 15 minutes to infuse them with tangy flavor.
  2. Prepare the Coating Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, crushed dill pickles, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Dredge the Chicken: Lightly pat the marinated chicken dry. Coat each breast evenly with flour, dip in the beaten eggs, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture ensuring a thick and even crust.
  4. Cook to Perfection: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until the crust is golden and crispy and the chicken is cooked through but still juicy inside.
  5. Serve Hot and Enjoy: Transfer cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately garnished with fresh dill, a lemon wedge, or extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crunchy dill pickles for the best texture and flavor contrast.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes to enhance tenderness and taste.
  • Press the coating firmly onto the chicken to keep the crust intact while cooking.
  • Maintain medium heat during frying to avoid burning the crust.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to lock in juices.
