Instructions
- 1. In a large container, dissolve 1/4 cup sea salt and 2 tablespoons honey in 2 cups warm water. Place 500 g chicken breasts in the brine and refrigerate for one hour.
- 2. While the chicken is brining, prepare the pesto by combining 4 cups Italian parsley, 1/2 cup pine nuts, 4 cloves garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, then transfer to a bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- 3. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the chicken breasts on the bias into pieces approximately 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick. Heat a grill pan over medium heat, lightly brush the surface with olive oil, and grill the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 to 155°F. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
