Description
A delightful chicken dish featuring a crunchy coating of Parmesan and seasoned breadcrumbs, marinated in dill pickle juice for a tangy twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup dill pickle juice
- 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 and 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: one with flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, & pepper; another with whisked eggs; and the last with 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.
- Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil. Rest for a few minutes before serving hot.
Notes
To make the dish even more special, consider adding fresh chopped dill to the breadcrumb mixture or serve with a tangy dipping sauce for extra flavor.
