Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup dill pickle juice (from a jar of pickles)

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by placing it in a shallow dish and covering it with dill pickle juice for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Prepare your dredging stations with flour mixed with spices, whisked eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
- Coat each chicken piece in flour, dip in eggs, and then press into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
