How to make it

  1. In a bowl, whisk the salt in the water. Add the chicken breast to the brine. Put in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove chicken breasts from brine and pat dry.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a zip-lock bag and pound to achieve a ½-inch thickness.
  4. Mix olive oil, chopped rosemary, minced garlic and lemon zest, place in the zip-lock bag and massage the marinade into the chicken.
  5. Seal and place the bag into the refrigerator, ideally for 4 hours or longer.
  6. Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill (or the grill pan) and cook about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Alternatively, cook on the pan at medium-high heat turning once.
