Description
Juicy, tender chicken breasts marinated in tangy dill pickle juice and coated with a savory Parmesan crust, then baked until golden and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup dill pickle juice
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or bowl and pour pickle juice over them. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry.
- In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush chicken breasts with olive oil, then coat each piece thoroughly in the Parmesan mixture.
- Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until cooked through and golden.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh dill and serve.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 1–2 minutes at the end.
- Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option.
- Pairs well with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
