Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Topping

  • 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: 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

  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
  • Dill pickles add tanginess and crunch; swap with bread and butter pickles for a sweeter twist.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best texture and flavor.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
