Description

This Dill Pickle Parmesan Chicken recipe features juicy chicken breasts topped with crunchy dill pickles and a golden layer of Parmesan cheese, baked to perfection and served with a tangy lemon-Greek yogurt sauce. It’s a simple yet flavorful dish combining creamy, tangy, and savory elements for a delicious 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
  • 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

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat (165°F internal temperature).
  • For extra crispy Parmesan topping, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before baking.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
