Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp dill pickle brine
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Method
 

  1. Pound each chicken breast to 3/4 inch thickness. Whisk all remaining ingredients into a marinade, coat the chicken, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  2. Heat a grill pan or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook for 4 to 5 more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Rest the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, then slice diagonally, fan out on a plate, and finish with a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

If you are meal prepping, you can pound and marinate the chicken the night before and keep it in the fridge up to 4 hours before cooking. Garlic powder is intentional here, not lazy; fresh garlic burns at the heat needed to get a proper char. Pull the chicken off the heat right at 165°F (74°C), as it will carry over a degree or two while resting.
