# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Place chicken breasts in a large bowl and pour over the dill pickle juice, ensuring they are fully submerged. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
02 -
Season the flour with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in the first bowl. Whisk eggs in the second bowl. Combine breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in the third bowl.
03 -
Warm sufficient oil in a large skillet over medium heat until a breadcrumb sizzles upon contact.
04 -
Remove chicken breasts from marinade, shaking off excess liquid. Dredge each piece sequentially in seasoned flour, egg wash, and breadcrumb-Parmesan mix.
05 -
Carefully place breaded chicken in hot oil. Cook 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 75°C. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
06 -
Transfer cooked chicken to paper towel-lined plate to absorb oil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes to retain juices and tenderness.
07 -
Serve immediately or cool and store in an airtight container for later consumption.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Extending marination beyond 30 minutes intensifies the dill pickle flavor.
02 -
Ensure oil is adequately heated to achieve a crisp crust.
03 -
Verify internal temperature with a meat thermometer to confirm doneness at 75°C.
