Here’s how to bring this delightful dish to life in your kitchen:

1. Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in dill pickle juice for at least 30 minutes. This step infuses the chicken with tangy flavor and tenderizes the meat.
2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, mix the Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge each breast in the flour mixture, dip in the eggs, and then coat in the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.
