Description

This Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken recipe offers a delightful combination of tangy dill pickles and savory Parmesan cheese atop juicy, tender chicken breasts. Baked to perfection and served with a creamy, lemony Greek yogurt sauce, this dish is a flavorful and easy weeknight meal that combines crunchy, cheesy, and tangy elements for a unique taste experience.

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
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)

Sauce

  • 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 into the meat.
  3. Add Pickles: Place the sliced dill pickles in a single layer over the top of each seasoned chicken breast to infuse tangy flavor.
  4. Top with Parmesan: Generously sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the dill pickles covering each chicken breast.
  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 Parmesan 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 create a tangy, creamy sauce that complements the savory chicken.
  7. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the lemony Greek yogurt sauce over the top before serving to add creaminess and a fresh burst of flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of garlic powder and lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a sharper cheese flavor, try using aged Parmesan.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
