Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approximately 6 oz each)
  • 1 cup dill pickle brine
  • 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 0.25 cup finely diced dill pickles for garnish

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow bowl and cover with dill pickle brine; marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, dried dill, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  • Remove the chicken from the brine and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy crust.
  • Brush each chicken breast lightly with melted butter on all sides.
  • Dredge the chicken in the parmesan-panko mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the breading adheres to the surface.
  • Place the coated chicken onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the crust is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before topping with diced pickles and serving.
