Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 0.75 cup Dill pickle juice
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes to form nugget-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine pickle juice and milk. Add the chicken pieces to the mixture, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Step 3
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the chicken pieces and toss until fully coated with the seasoning mix.
Step 5
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 6
Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 7
Remove from the skillet and let rest on a plate for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Serve the grilled nuggets warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
