Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Dill pickle juice
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0 Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch each.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine dill pickle juice and skim milk to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to 2 hours. This helps tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
Step 4
After marinating, drain the chicken and pat the pieces dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 6
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken pieces, tossing them gently to ensure each piece is well coated.
Step 7
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the seasoned chicken pieces onto the grill pan without overcrowding and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the grilled nuggets warm with your favorite dipping sauce or side salad for a delicious, low-fat meal.
