Cup of Yum
To Make the Chicken:
- Pre-heat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Take a sharp knife and keeping it parallel to the chopping board cut through the middle of the chicken leaving the back edge intact. (See full pictures in post).
- Gently open up the chicken breasts.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the dill pickle relish inside each chicken breast and spread it out to create a thin layer.
- Fold 2 slices of provolone into each chicken breast, then sprinkle with parmesan.
- Close each chicken breast up and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Pour the oil into a cast iron fry pan and fry the chicken smooth side down for 4 minutes. Carefully flip the chicken and finish baking the chicken in oven for 8-10 minutes.
Notes
- The brining step is optional, but it does make so much difference. If you don't have any pickle juice use 2 cups of water mixed with ⅛ cup of salt and 2 tablespoon of white sugar.
