Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced lengthwise for cutlets)
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice (from jar)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Fresh dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate: Place chicken in a bag or dish, cover with pickle juice, refrigerate 2–8 hours.
  2. Preheat: Oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  3. Prep breading station: 1 bowl flour + seasoning, 1 bowl beaten eggs, 1 bowl panko, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika.
  4. Bread: Pat chicken dry. Coat in flour, dip in egg, press into breadcrumb mix until well coated.
  5. Cook: Oven: Bake 18–22 min, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked (165°F internal temp). Air fryer: 10–12 min, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
  6. Serve: Sprinkle with fresh dill and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • At least 2 hours of marinade time recommended for best flavor.
  • Pat chicken dry before breading to help coating stick.
  • Don’t overcrowd baking sheet or air fryer basket—ensures crispy crust.
  • Use boneless chicken thighs for extra juicy variation.
