Serves:

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups of water
1/4 cup of salt
1/4 cup of sugar
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of black peppercorns
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
1 lemon, sliced

Instructions

In a large pot, combine water, salt, sugar, garlic, peppercorns, rosemary, and lemon slices. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the brine mixture over them. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible.
Refrigerate the bag for at least 2 hours, or overnight for optimal flavor.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken breasts from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
