Ingredients
2
boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2
cup
pickle juice
1/2
cup
avocado oil
Instructions
Cut chicken breasts horizontally so you have 2 thinner pieces from each breast
Cut the thinner pieces into small nugget shapes
Combine pickle juice and avocado oil in a mixing bowl
Add the chicken to the bowl and toss until all pieces are covered in the marinade
Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours
Oil either a grill pan or regular cast iron skillet - I use a cast iron grill pan
Heat the pan over medium heat
Once the pan is hot arrange nuggets on the pan - you will need to cook in batches
Cook for 3 minutes on one side, flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other
Cook in batches until all nuggets are cookes
