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
- Marinate the chicken by placing it in a shallow dish and covering it with dill pickle juice. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Set up dredging stations with flour mixed with spices, whisked eggs, and seasoned breadcrumbs with Parmesan.
- Dredge the chicken, first in the flour, then in the egg wash, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Fry the chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain the chicken on a wire rack and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Make ahead by marinating chicken the night before. For a healthier option, use an air fryer at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
