Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts filleted
- 3/4 cup dill pickle juice for the marinade; discarded
- 1/3 cup milk for the marinade; discarded
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for the grill grates
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato sliced
- 4 multigrain buns
- dressing of your choice
Instructions
- Whisk together the pickle juice, milk, powdered sugar, black pepper, salt and garlic powder.
- Add the filleted chicken breasts to the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, and rub the grates with the olive oil.
- Grill the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes per side, until a food thermometer reads 165°F in the chicken.
- Move the chicken to a clean plate and rest for at least 5 minutes. Spread the dressing on the buns, then add lettuce, sliced tomato and grilled chicken.
Notes
This is a copycat, not the restaurant's recipe. The time includes the 30-minute minimum marinade and the 5-minute rest. The marinade liquid is discarded and the dressing has no set amount, so neither is counted in the nutrition; the salt figure is an overestimate because most of it stays in the marinade.
