Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast

Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts horizontally so you have 2 thinner pieces from each breast
- Cut the thinner pieces into small nugget shapes
- Combine pickle juice and avocado oil in a mixing bowl
- Add the chicken to the bowl and toss until all pieces are covered in the marinade
- Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours
- Oil either a grill pan or regular cast iron skillet - I use a cast iron grill pan
- Heat the pan over medium heat
- Once the pan is hot arrange nuggets on the pan - you will need to cook in batches
- Cook for 3 minutes on one side, flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other
