Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Pickle juice
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the pickle juice and heavy cream. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well submerged. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for best results.
Step 3
After marinating, drain the chicken from the liquid and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken pieces, making sure they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces in batches to prevent crowding. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and let rest for a minute on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the grilled nuggets hot, accompanied by your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or salad.
