Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Breading

  • 1 cup dill pickle slices, chopped
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped dill pickles, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
  2. Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
  3. Bake the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the coated chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet or on parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
  4. Serve hot: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately while hot, either as a main dish or paired with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh dill for dried dill for a more vibrant flavor.
  • For extra crunch, add crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs to the breading mixture.
  • Make sure the chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking; you can pound them if necessary.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
