Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, pour enough dill pickle juice to completely submerge the chicken breasts. Marinate for about 30 minutes.
  2. Set up your breading station with flour mixed with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  3. In a skillet, heat about half an inch of cooking oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, coat in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. Fry the coated chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  7. Let the chicken rest for about 5-10 minutes to redistribute the juices.
  8. Slice and serve immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
