Roasted Chicken Lunch Meat! Easy, Heathy, Tasty, Home Made Inexpensive!!!

This roasted chicken lunch meat is the bomb! I use it on all my sandwich catering and when I tell my clients how I make it the are very excited (because they love it).

So Easy and So Good! Healthy Money Saver!

This roasted chicken lunch meat is better and healthier than any lunchmeat you buy at the deli counter. It only costs about $2 a pound to make compared with $8 a pound at the deli counter. This is fresher and much healthier with no preservatives!

Let’s Make This Easy Recipe!

First you have to brine 2 boneless skinless chicken breast. You should still be able to find it for 2 bucks a pound if you check around.

The breasts are very big now but that is a good thing. Take two large breasts and put them in a brine of 1 quart of water to 1/4 cup salt. Scale up if needed. Let it brine for 45 minutes to an hour. The brine will make the chicken moist and give a great texture

Roasted Chicken Lunch Meat Marinade

You can flavor the chicken however you want at this point but I use rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest mixed with some olive oil. I marinade for 30 minute but you actually don’t have to wait because you will cook it with the marinade.

This is also a great marinade and brine for chicken (kabobs, grilled Greek Chicken).

You can use any marinade, chipotle, jerk, etc.. just don’t add salt because the brine already did the work.

Tootsie Roll….

Get a piece of aluminum foil about 12 inches long. Heavy duty works best but if you have regular just double wrap it.

Lay the breast on top of each other in opposite directions on top of the foil. thick end on top of thin end. Roll the breast up and squeeze the ends like a tootsie roll.

Bake in a 350 degrees oven until the chicken reaches 160 degrees, about an hour.

Let it totally chill preferable overnight in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!

This marinade is great for a chicken souvlaki or this Greek Chicken Salad
