📝 Preparation Steps

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the water, salt, and sugar until dissolved. This only takes about ⏱️ 2 minutes.

cold water4 cupssalt3 tablespoonssugar (optional)1 tablespoon

You can leave everything in the bowl or transfer it to a container. Whatever you choose, next, add in the garlic, thyme, peppercorns, and chicken breasts. Be sure the chicken is submerged.

Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and brine in the refrigerator for 4 to ⏱️ 24 hours. The longer the brine time, the better.

Once you are done brining, remove them from the wet brine and pat them dry well with paper towels. Cook according to your liking. I prefer them pan-seared.
