Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 ½ cups pickle juice (approx.)
  • ¼ cup hot honey
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Method
 

  1. I recommend soaking your chicken in pickle juice all day, or even overnight if you can
  2. Then, dice the chicken into 1 inch cubes and saute in a pan
  3. While it cooks, mix the hot honey, 1 tbsp of pickle juice and 2 tbsp of melted butter in a bowl
  4. Add 1 tbsp of cornstarch to the chicken as it cooks
  5. When the chicken is done, pour the honey sauce over the top and mix until evenly coated
  6. Serve with rice and your favorite vegetables for a healthy, balanced dish
