This Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken recipe combines juicy, tender chicken breasts with tangy dill pickles and a crispy Parmesan cheese crust, baked to golden perfection. Finished with a creamy lemony Greek yogurt sauce, this dish offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures that’s quick and easy to prepare for a wholesome family meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Toppings

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup crunchy dill pickles, sliced
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for greasing)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray or olive oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
  2. Season Chicken: Evenly season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let them rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Add Pickles: Arrange the sliced dill pickles in a single layer over the seasoned chicken breasts, ensuring they cover the surface evenly.
  4. Top with Parmesan: Generously sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the dill pickles, creating a flavorful crust on the chicken.
  5. Bake Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the cheese is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Prepare Sauce: While the chicken bakes, whisk together the Greek yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl to make a tangy, creamy sauce.
  7. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the lemony Greek yogurt sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked to 165°F (75°C) for food safety.
  • Crunchy dill pickles add texture, but you can use regular dill pickles if preferred.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2 minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Greek yogurt sauce can be served on the side as a dip if preferred.
  • Leftover chicken is great for sandwiches or salads.
