I guess I am not the outdoors,“Jane of the Jungle type” one bite and "I’m out of here”!
Ingredients:
For the Dipping Sauce:
1 sweet onion – sliced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. black pepper
¼ cup vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice
Sauté the onion in a tablespoon of olive oil until transparent. Let the onion cool.
Place the onion in a food processor and add the rest of the ingredients. Give a few good chops until the desired consistency is reached. Place in a container and refrigerate.
For the Chicken Breast:
2-3 lbs. boneless chicken breast
For the Brine:
5 cups water
¼ cup salt
¼ cup sugar
1 tbs. dried oregano
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. cumin
3 tbs. vinegar
½ tsp. cloves
Juice of 1 lime
Combine all of the above in a pot; add the chicken and cover in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
Remove from the brine and cut the chicken into desired sized pieces.
Heat a 10 inch frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
If the chicken is cut into ¼ to ½ inch thickness it should take about 6 to 10 minutes over medium heat; turning the chicken pieces occasionally to sauté evenly. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Serve with the onion dipping sauce.
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine

What a great idea to brine boneless chicken breasts - I'll bet it boosts the flavor nicely and is a a great complement to the wonderful dipping sauce. More sticky weather ahead, so stay cool, Catherine!

That sauce sounds excellent and I want to try it soon. Hope you're all better soon. I don't blame you for being "out of here." I would too! It is definitely a weird summer here, very chilly now. Have a good week, my friend!
