Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breast cutlets provides lean protein
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs adds crunch
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese enhances flavor and richness
  • 2 large eggs bind ingredients together
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour helps in coating
  • 1 cup sour cream adds creaminess
  • 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles offers tanginess
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill adds herbaceous flavor
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice boosts flavor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
  • to taste Salt and pepper seasoning

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by preparing your ingredient setup. Take the chicken breast cutlets and place them between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them down to an even thickness, about half an inch.
  • Set out three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, pour in the all-purpose flour, adding a sprinkle of salt and pepper for seasoning. In the second bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until fully combined. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese, mixing them well.

Breading the Chicken

  • Take one cutlet and coat it in the flour mixture, making sure both sides are covered.
  • Dip the floured cutlet into the whisked eggs, letting any excess drip off.
  • Move the egg-coated cutlet into the bowl with the panko and parmesan mixture. Press down gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Cooking

  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully place the breaded cutlets in the pan.
  • Cook the chicken on one side until it turns golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.

Making the Sauce

  • Prepare the creamy dill pickle sauce by mixing the sour cream, chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, and pickle juice in a bowl. Stir until smooth.

Serving

  • Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm, drizzled with your creamy dill pickle sauce.

Notes

For best results, ensure the oil is properly heated and let cutlets rest on a paper towel after frying.
