Description

This Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken recipe offers a deliciously tangy and cheesy twist on classic baked chicken breasts. Tender chicken is seasoned with garlic and pepper, topped with crunchy dill pickles and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, then baked to golden perfection. Finished with a creamy lemony Greek yogurt sauce, this dish is perfect for a flavorful and easy weeknight dinner.

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
  • 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 sticking.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Allow them to sit for a few minutes so the seasoning absorbs.
  3. Add Pickles: Place the sliced dill pickles in a single layer over the top of each seasoned chicken breast.
  4. Top with Parmesan: Generously sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the dill pickles, covering the chicken breasts evenly.
  5. Bake Chicken: Bake the prepared chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the cheese turns golden brown and crispy.
  6. Prepare Sauce: While the chicken bakes, whisk together the Greek yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl to create a tangy, creamy sauce.
  7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle the lemony Greek yogurt sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
  • Use crunchy dill pickles for added texture and tanginess.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • The lemony Greek yogurt sauce adds creaminess and a fresh flavor, but can be served on the side if preferred.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
