INGREDIENTS FOR THE CHICKEN
– 1 lb chicken breast
– ½ cup dill pickle juice
– 1 tsp salt & pepper

– 1 tbsp olive oill
Place chicken cubes in a bowl and cover with dill pickle juice. Let marinate in the fridge for 1 hour to tenderize and flavor the chicken.

STEP 3: SEAR THE CHICKEN
Cook the remaining chicken, then transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
STEP 4: REPEAT AND SERVE
