Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle juice
  • 2 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make marinade, whisk together the buttermilk, pickle juice, ranch seasoning, and olive oil.
  2. Poke chicken all over with a fork. Place the chicken in a dish or zip top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken to cover completely. Refrigerate for up to 4 hours, with a minimum of 30 minutes.
  3. Heat the grill to medium heat and brush with oil to prevent sticking. Place chicken on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side with the cover closed, depending on thickness. Cook to an internal temperature of 165˚F.
  4. Once done, remove chicken from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then serve warm. Enjoy!
