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
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Season chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Add pickles: Place the sliced crunchy dill pickles on top of each seasoned chicken breast for a tangy flair.
  4. Top with Parmesan: Generously sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the pickles to create a flavorful crust during baking.
  5. Bake: Bake the prepared chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Prepare sauce: While the chicken bakes, mix Greek yogurt and lemon juice together in a small bowl to make a tangy sauce.
  7. Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and serve drizzled with the prepared Greek yogurt lemon sauce for a creamy finish.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
  • You can substitute dill pickles with bread-and-butter pickles for a sweeter taste.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
