Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Skim milk
- 0.25 cup Dill pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 can Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a medium bowl, combine the skim milk and dill pickle juice.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and ensure each piece is well-coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, preferably for up to an hour, to marinate the chicken.
After marinating, remove the chicken from the fridge and drain the excess marinade.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
Toss the drained chicken pieces with the spice mixture until evenly coated.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan in a single layer, making sure not to crowd them.
Grill for about 4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has defined grill marks.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium grilled nuggets with your favorite low-sodium dipping sauce.
