Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the temperature to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare the coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped dill pickles with the grated Parmesan cheese until well blended.
- Beat the eggs: In another bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Apply the crunch: Transfer the chicken to the dill pickle and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.
