RECIPE: Pickles and Chicken

And for something completely different:

Cooked something that sounds a bit odd today however it came out quite nicely. Here is what you need:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 jar of Woody's (or any other brand) sweet and spicy pickles, ...mostly empty with 1/3 of pickle juice and small amount of jalapenos and pickles left
1 small jar of sweet and spicy salsa/relish.
4 T of medium chunky salsa
1/4 C oil

Pound chicken to break up connective tissue and help cook more evenly. This can be done easily by laying the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and pounding with tenderizer or a ice cream scoop turned around backwards. Mix pickle juice, salsas, and oil and place in a non-reactive dish. Marinate overnight, or all day if you choose.

Heat grill to high heat. Pour all marinate into pot and bring to a boil. Place chicken on lower rack of hot grill and turn heat to medium. Cook for four minutes on each side. Take off of grill and let rest. Boil marinate for 10 minutes total. You can remove some of the oil if you choose. I did. Let marinate cool a little and serve over chicken.

This recipe has a wonderful sweet and spicy flavor with a unique pickle/salsa sauce to compliment the poultry. Don't be afraid when you are eating a pickle with a bit of chicken. It tastes delicious. Only bad part is you have to eat almost all of the pickles in the jar to get down to the good juice. And don't you dump out the juice first with a few pickles to make the marinate! You will ruin all of the wonderful sweet and spicy pickles in the jar. Unless you plan on eating them as an appetizer!
