Ingredients
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 ½ cups Dill Pickle Juice
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar

- ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
- In a big bowl, mix the pickle juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Put the chicken breasts into the bowl using tongs, making sure they are well covered with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can.
- When you're ready to cook, heat your grill to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil the grill grates so the chicken won't stick.

- Slice the chicken and enjoy!

- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked properly, we use an instant-read meat thermometer. The chicken should be 165 degrees F inside before you eat it.
