Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Dill pickle juice
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, around 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the dill pickle juice and whole milk. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
In another small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a spice blend.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Ensure as much moisture is absorbed as possible for even cooking.
Step 5
Toss the chicken pieces in the spice blend, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 6
Heat a grill pan or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil it with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the chicken pieces in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the nuggets are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
Step 8
Remove the grilled nuggets from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or over a salad for a healthier meal.
