Ingredients

  • 1 container Kosher Dill Pickle Spears with fresh dill and spices (you only need the juice but you can have the pickles on the side!)

  • 1 lb raw fresh breast chicken tenders

  • 1 large egg

  • 3/4 cup Japanese style panko breadcrumbs

  • 1 tbsp Seasoning in a Pickle seasoning blend

  • Fresh dill, for garnish

  • Optional dip: Vegan Creamy Dill Dressing, ketchup

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

  3. Strain pickle juice into a large ziplock (or container). Add chicken tenders making sure all of the pieces get submerged in the juice. Seal and refrigerate for 1-2 hours

  4. Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs with seasoning mix in a bowl

  5. Transfer brined chicken to a plate lined with paper towel and gently pat dry

  6. Add egg to a large bowl, and whisk until beaten. Add chicken to the egg, and toss to coat. Shake each piece to remove excess egg before dunking in the seasoned breadcrumbs and placing on your baking sheet (covering with any remaining crumbs)

  7. Lightly spray with olive oil

  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked and light golden brown

  9. Serve topped with extra dill, and with dill dressing (or ketchup) for dipping
