Instructions
Creating Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken is a simple process that results in a flavor-packed dish. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect meal:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts and dill pickle juice. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for extra flavor.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
3. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika.
4. Beat the Eggs: In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
5. Coat the Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken from the pickle juice. Dip each piece into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to help them crisp up.
7. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
8. Rest and Serve: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving.
Following these steps will ensure you create a delicious and crispy Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken that everyone will enjoy!
