In a large bowl or pot, combine the water, kosher salt, brown sugar, soy sauce, black peppercorns, garlic, and herbs.

Use a whisk or spoon to stir the mixture until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.

Allow the brine to cool to room temperature before adding the chicken.

Once cooled, place your chicken breasts into the brine, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Cover the bowl or pot and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but up to 2 hours.

After brining, remove the chicken from the brine and give it a quick rinse under cold water.

Use paper towels to pat the chicken breasts dry.

Your chicken is now ready to be seasoned and cooked using your preferred method.
