Ingredients
- 2 pieces Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
- 2 pieces Whole wheat hamburger buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced Tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0 Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour in the dill pickle juice and skim milk. Seal the bag, ensuring that the chicken is fully submerged. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, and up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 2
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Evenly season both sides of the chicken breasts with this mixture.
Step 4
Lightly coat the grill with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has nice grill marks.
Step 5
While the chicken is cooking, lightly spray the inside of the whole wheat buns with olive oil spray and grill for a minute or two until they are lightly toasted.
Step 6
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a slice of tomato and a lettuce leaf. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Step 7
Serve the sandwiches immediately or wrap them in aluminum foil to keep warm until serving.
