Dill Pickle Chicken Parm
Serves: 2–3
Time: ~40 minutes
Ingredients
Chicken
2 large chicken breasts (butterflied or pounded thin)
Salt & pepper
½ cup flour
2 eggs (beaten)
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
½ cup grated parmesan
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Sauce
1½ cups Dill Pickle Pomodoro sauce
¼ cup finely chopped dill pickles
1 tbsp fresh dill
Topping
4 slices provolone or mozzarella
Extra parmesan for finishing
Instructions
1. Bread the Chicken
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in egg, then coat in the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture. Press firmly for an even crust.
2. Fry Until Golden
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Build the Sauce
Warm the Dill Pickle Pomodoro sauce in a pan. Stir in chopped pickles and fresh dill. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
4. Assemble
Place chicken in a baking dish or cast iron pan. Spoon sauce over each piece (lightly, to keep the crust crisp). Top with cheese.
5. Bake
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Broil 1–2 minutes for a golden finish if desired.
Serve With
Pasta
Crusty bread
Simple green salad
Pro Tip
Add 1–2 teaspoons of pickle brine to the sauce just before serving to enhance brightness and balance.
