Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine boneless, skinless chicken breasts with dill pickle juice. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Set up your breading station with three bowls: seasoned flour, whisked eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
  3. Heat about ½ inch of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  4. Dredge each marinated chicken breast in the flour, dip in eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  5. Fry coated chicken in the hot oil, about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  6. Transfer crispy chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let rest for a few minutes.
  7. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving; pair with sides like homemade potato wedges or salad.
