Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Brine the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the apple juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the brine and grill or pan-fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  3. 3

    Add Smoked Gouda

    In the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of smoked Gouda on each chicken breast and cover until melted.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Brats

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Spread Dijon mustard on each bun, place the Gouda chicken on top, and add a generous spoonful of chow chow relish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, with additional chow chow on the side if desired.
