Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Toppings

  • 1 cup crunchy dill pickles, sliced
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

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 to prevent sticking.
  2. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Layer Pickles: Arrange the sliced dill pickles on top of each seasoned chicken breast, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Generously sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the pickles on each chicken breast for a crispy, cheesy crust.
  5. Bake: Place the prepared baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the Parmesan crust turns golden brown.
  6. Prepare Sauce: While the chicken bakes, in a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt and lemon juice, mixing well to create a tangy, creamy sauce.
  7. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove from oven and drizzle with the Greek yogurt lemon sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute regular yogurt for Greek yogurt if desired, but Greek yogurt offers a thicker texture.
  • Use crunchy dill pickles for better texture contrast.
  • For added flavor, drizzle olive oil over the chicken before baking.
  • Make sure to check the chicken’s internal temperature to ensure it is fully cooked.
