Pickle-Brined Grilled Chicken
Ingredients
- 2, 4 - 5 oz chicken breasts
- 1/2 Jar Byler's Sweet Dill Pickle Juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Marinate chicken in Byler's Sweet Dill Pickle juice while you make the remoulade.
-
You may marinate the chicken for longer, time permitting. The longer you marinate, the more 'pickly' the chicken will be!
-
Remove chicken from the marinade and trim the fat.
-
Carefully using a knife, slice each chicken breast in half to create two, thinner breasts.
-
Place one of the breasts between two pieces of parchment or wax paper.
- Use a rolling pin or pan to gently pound the chicken to flatten/ thin to about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick.
- Repeat these above steps with each chicken breast.
- Season both sides of chicken with spices.
- Put a grill pan (or any pan) on the stove over medium-high heat and add olive oil to coat.
- Add chicken and sear on each side. Don't fight the chicken. They will easily release from the pan and flip when they're ready! Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Build your sandwich! I like to use whole grain bread, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and of course, the remoulade! Serve with a side of faux- fried pickles.
