Notes

  • Nutritional values do not include hamburger buns.
  • Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for three days or in the freezer for up to three months.
Variations:
  • You can swap out sliced pickles for baby dill pickles if you prefer.
  • For a creamy twist, toss in a block of cream cheese to make it "Creamy Dill Pickle Chicken."
  • If you want to turn up the heat, simply dice 1-2 jalapeños and sprinkle them over the chicken for a spicy kick! Or if you can find spicy pickles, that works great too.
Serving Suggestions:
  • A popular way to serve Dill Pickle Chicken is on toasted hamburger buns, making it a delicious and easy sandwich. For toppings, consider adding mayonnaise (or ranch dressing), cheddar cheese slices, and thinly sliced red onion for extra flavor. Another option is to serve the chicken on homemade biscuits for a comforting twist.
  • For a heartier meal, serve the Dill Pickle Chicken over creamy mashed potatoes or steamed rice. My slow cooker mashed potatoes would make a perfect pairing.
  • For a fun variation, try rolling the chicken in soft tortillas, topped with shredded cheese and sour cream, for a unique take on taco night.
