Marination and Preparation
  1. Combine chicken breasts with dill pickle juice in a large bowl, making sure they are fully submerged. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare three bowls—one with seasoned flour, another with whisked eggs, and a third with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Coating and Frying
  1. Remove chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess juice. Dredge in flour, dip in the egg, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  2. Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil, frying for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken and place it on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  4. Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
