Grilled Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

    Ingredients

    • 4 boneless pasture-raised organic chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
    • 3/4 cup organic pickle juice (watch out for added sugars and artificial dyes in pickles)
    • 1/3 cup almond milk or dairy-free milk of choice
    • 2 tsp maple syrup
    • 2 tsp salt
    • 2 tsp black pepper
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 2 tbsp coconut oil

    Directions

    1. Place all the ingredients except the olive oil in a gallon-size bag or large bowl. Shake or stir to combine

    2. Allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes. Overnight in the refrigerator is ideal.

    3. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat for a few minutes.

    4. Place the chicken on the heated pan and cook for approximately 4-6 minutes on each side of the chicken until the chicken is cooked through reaching an internal temperature of 165F.

    5. Pair with homemade ranch or honey mustard! Serve atop a salad, with homemade sweet potato fries, or roasted veggies for a fabulous lunch or dinner.
