Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a ziplock bag.

Add the low sodium dill pickle juice and buttermilk to the bag, seal it, and mix well.

In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder.

In a small bowl, beat the egg.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and dip each piece into the beaten egg.

Coat the egg-dipped chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
