Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients Measures
Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves 2 (5-ounce)
Water 1 + 3 cups
Sugar 2 tablespoons
Kosher salt (or 1 tablespoon table salt) 2 tablespoons
Ice cubes 1 cup
  • Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about ½ inch thick all around.
  • Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a small sauce pan over high heat. Mix in the sugar and salt and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a 4-cup glass measure. Add ice cubes and enough water to make 4 cups.
  • Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag or covered plastic container. Pour in the brine mixture and seal. Brine for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • While chicken is brining, prepare the grill.
  • Drain chicken and place on grill. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until juices run clear. Serve with sweet pickle relish.
