Preparation
- In a large bowl or freezer bag, cover chicken breast with brine and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove chicken from brine and pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a medium bowl add chicken, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat chicken breast.
- Preheat broiler rack inside broiler on high for 5-minutes.
- Place chicken breast across center of pre-heated rack closest to heat.
- After 5 minutes, flip chicken and cook an additional 5-minutes.
