This dill pickle chicken recipe is so easy. You throw the chicken into a zip lock bag with pickle juice. Refrigerate overnight, then have it ready to prepare for dinner the next day. 

Chicken with Pickles

I’m always looking for new ways to do chicken. And, this chicken pickles is yet another winner. Simple. Tasty. And, with that dill pickle twist! Another unique part of this recipe is the scoring of the chicken breast. It lets those pickle juices seep deep into the meat.

You can use this recipe with bone-in and other cuts of chicken. You’ll just need to adjust your cooking time to accommodate this change. A good rule of thumb for doneness would be an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Reuse Pickle Juice

Oh, pickle juice! Such a glorious liquid. And, there are so many ways that you can reuse pickle juice! So, don’t throw out the pickle juice. Recycle it. This dill pickle chicken recipe is just one way you can use. And, chicken with pickles is a fabulous combo. In fact, when I go to my fave fast food, Chick Filet, I order chicken nuggets and several extra sides of dill pickeles. 

Pickle juice can be used for things like in your mac and cheese (just a dash! It brightens flavors!), to re-pickle things like zucchini, carrots, cucumbers. Just put them in the pickle juice jar and let them hang out a few days, then you have tasty munchies. For more ways to reuse pickle juice, check out this article from Bon Appetite!
