Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Dill pickles (slices or chopped)
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Black pepper
- Cayenne pepper (optional)
- Olive oil (or any neutral oil like canola or avocado oil)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If the breasts are thick, consider slicing them in half horizontally.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
- Dip each chicken breast into a shallow dish of olive oil, ensuring they are fully coated. Transfer them to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top each piece with dill pickles, distributing them evenly.
