Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized chunks
  • ¾ cup dill pickle juice from a jar of pickles
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for a little heat
  • Cooking spray or extra olive oil for grilling

Instructions

  1. Mix the pickle juice, milk, and Greek yogurt or buttermilk in a bowl until blended and add the chicken pieces to fully coat them. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for richer flavor.
  2. Combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a small bowl to create the seasoning mix.
  3. Remove chicken from marinade, pat dry thoroughly, drizzle with olive oil, then evenly coat with the seasoning blend.
  4. Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and grease lightly with cooking spray or olive oil. Arrange chicken in one layer without crowding and grill each side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Let the grilled nuggets rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving to keep them juicy. Optionally, brush with melted butter for an authentic finish while still warm.

Notes

  • For extra authentic flavor, brush warm nuggets with melted butter just after grilling to enhance richness
