- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish, pour dill pickle juice over them, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the coating: In one bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs. In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Coat the chicken: Remove chicken from pickle juice, dredge in flour mixture, dip in egg wash, and coat with breadcrumb mixture.

- Fry the chicken: Place coated chicken in hot oil, frying for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
