Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ½ cups dill pickle juice (for marinating)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup cooking oil (vegetable or canola) for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl or zip-top bag, combine chicken breasts and dill pickle juice. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight).
- Set up three breading stations: Bowl 1: Mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Bowl 2: Whisk eggs until smooth.
- Bowl 3: Combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot (a breadcrumb should sizzle on contact).
- Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Dredge in flour mixture, then dip in eggs, then press into Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Fry chicken for 5–7 minutes per side or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Transfer to paper towel–lined plate. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
