This is a family recipe, but so very simple to make. It expands very easily (just multiply the ingredients), so I'm going to give the recipe for one cucumber.

Take one breast of chicken (what we call one, which is actually a half) and put in a ziploc bag with water, 1/4 cup vinegar, a tablespoon of brown sugar, and then whatever other seasonings you like.
