- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
- ½ cup dill pickle juice
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally so you have 2 thinner fillets. Cut each piece into squares or rectangles that are 1-2” long on each side.
- Whisk pickle juice, milk, brown sugar, salt, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika together in a mixing bowl.Pour cut chicken into the bowl and toss so its fully covered by the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least half an hour and up to 4 hours.
- Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with oil.
- Place chicken on the pan in an even layer. Cook for 4 minutes without moving so you get those nice brown grill marks, flip and cook for another 4 minutes. Check for an internal temperature of at least 165F and remove from heat. Serve warm.
