Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a shallow dish, combine chicken breasts with dill pickle juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls. In the first, add flour seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In the second bowl, whisk together eggs until well-beaten.
  4. In the third bowl, mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. In a large skillet, heat enough cooking oil to cover the bottom over medium heat until shimmering.
  6. Remove chicken from marinade, dredge in seasoned flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  7. Fry chicken for about 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  8. Remove fried chicken and place on paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve the Chicken hot or store in an airtight container for leftovers.
