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: Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, cover with dill pickle juice, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Set up the breading station: In three shallow dishes, combine flour with spices in one, whisk eggs in another, and mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan in the last.
- Bread the chicken: Drain the marinade and pat the chicken dry. Dredge each piece in seasoned flour, coat with egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture.
- Fry the chicken: Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each piece for about 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
- Drain and serve: Transfer fried chicken to a wire rack to drain excess oil before serving hot.
