Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into small pieces
  • Cup Dill Pickle Juice can use less for less pickle taste
  • ¼ Cup Milk
  • 2 tsp Powdered Sugar
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • ¼ tsp Garlic Powder or Garlic Salt
  • ¼ tsp Paprika
  • ¼ tsp Seasoned Salt
  • A Drizzle of Olive Oil or Sunflower Oil

Instructions
 

  • First, start by cutting up your boneless skinless chicken breasts. You want to make sure they are bite-sized. Also, this is a good time to remove any fat from the chicken and discard it.
  • Next, take your chicken and place it into a large baggie or bowl along with the pickle juice and milk. Allow to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes although overnight is ideal.
  • Next, remove your chicken from the mixture and lay onto paper towels. Pat dry. Drain the excess milk and pickle juice.
  • Next, heat your saucepan to medium-high and drizzle in some olive oil or sunflower oil.
  • Now, add your powdered sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and seasoned salt into a bowl with the chicken. Combine.
  • Now, throw your chicken into the heated pan and cook about 8-10 minutes while constantly tossing to cook evenly. Depending on your stove, you may need more time to cook to ensure it’s cooked throughly.
  • Once cooked, remove from heat and serve up with some homemade honey mustard sauce. You can of course, use up all those extra sauce packets you have lying around!
