Allowing your meat to soak in this brine for as little as thirty minutes can make a huge difference. However, the longer that you allow the meat to brine, the more flavorful and the juicier your meat will turn out. With that said, overnight is about as long as you need to go for maximum results.

These chicken breasts are perfect for Caesar salads, casseroles, pizza’s, pasta dishes and many other dishes that call for chicken breasts.

You can also use this brine on pork and turkey as well as whole birds. The key is to make sure all the meat is covered, so if you have a lot of meat, or if you are brining a whole bird you’ll need to double, triple or maybe even quadruple this recipe.

This is a very basic brine recipe, but you can easily build it up by adding your favorite herbs and spices that you like on your meats.
