Brine for Chicken Breasts

I tested this brine on the breasts removed from the intact chicken that I used for making broth.

I am not much of a meat cooker, and this was only the second time I've brined. This seemed to be a pretty gentle brine - salt, sugar, lots of water, and a crushed bay leaf. I incubated the two breasts for 2 days, rinsed, and cooked as suggested - dry off, brush with olive oil, and fry.

I was very pleased with the result. Delicious, and not at ll salty. This was much better than the other brine I used, years ago. I will use this again.
