Prepare and Chill Brine
Start by combining the vegetable broth, apple juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and herbes de Provence in a pot. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil and the salt has fully dissolved. Once everything is well mixed, take the pot off the heat and let the brine cool down completely. After it’s cool, pour it into a container or a large resealable bag. Pop it in the fridge and let it chill until you’re ready to use it.

Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to keep the chicken moist. Avoid microwaving as it can dry out the meat.
