Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.
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.
After marinating, drain the chicken from the liquid and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken pieces, making sure they are evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
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.
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and let rest for a minute on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the grilled nuggets hot, accompanied by your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or salad.
