Simply Martha - Buttermilk Grilled Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast

 

A very simple Martha Stewart inspired buttermilk brined breast. Very good taste and not spicy if that is what you're looking for.


I have done buttermilk brined (or marinaded?) chicken before and it seems to always be something special but always for oven or fried. When Chris over at Nibble Me This did a grilled buttermilk chicken it looked really great but today (and maybe today only) I just didn't want spicy. Use call me demographically impaired today.

So I'm going Martha Stewart (literally, click HERE). I always like simple and you can't get much simpler than this. Soak in buttermilk for hours, add salt and pepper. Grill. Now that is simple.
