Preparation and Breading
  1. Pound chicken to 1/2 inch thickness. Submerge in pickle brine for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Pat chicken dry. Dip in flour, then beaten egg, then the panko-parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to adhere a thick layer.
  3. Bake at 400°F (204°C) on a wire rack for 15-18 minutes until the panko is golden-brown and crispy.
  4. Top each breast with 2 slices of mozzarella and 3 pickle chips. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is bubbly and white.
  5. Scatter fresh dill and cracked black pepper over the melted cheese before serving.

Notes

Pat the chicken completely dry after brining to ensure the breading doesn't slip off.
Use a wire rack to allow air to circulate, keeping the bottom of the chicken as crispy as the top.
