Description

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup dill pickle juice

Parmesan Coating

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the dill pickle juice over them. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to allow the chicken to absorb the tangy flavors and tenderize.
  2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking and help the crust crisp up.
  3. Mix the Parmesan Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. This mixture will create the flavorful, crispy coating for the chicken.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Press each piece into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides generously to ensure a crispy crust after baking.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked and juicy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish, and serve immediately with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, a green salad, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • This recipe works great with chicken tenders or thighs as well, offering versatility depending on your preference.
  • For extra crispiness, finish the chicken under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Serve with roasted vegetables, a fresh green salad, or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
