Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by marinating the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in dill pickle juice for 30 minutes to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare three shallow dishes: combine all-purpose flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the first dish, whisk large eggs in the second, and mix seasoned breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in the third.
  3. Remove the chicken from the dill pickle juice and pat it dry with paper towels.
  4. Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the whisked eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  5. Heat about half an inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
  6. Carefully add the breaded chicken to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. After cooking, transfer the chicken to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil and let it rest for a few minutes.
