- 2 large chicken breasts – boneless and skinless
- 1 cup dill pickle juice
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill for garnish
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts and dill pickle juice. Ensure the chicken is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
- In a separate bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the pickle juice. Let any excess liquid drip off, then coat each piece thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh dill before serving.
