Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce (low-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over the chicken breasts. It should come about a third of the way up the sides of the chicken.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and generously brush each chicken breast with the low-fat BBQ sauce.
Return the baking dish, uncovered, to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve with your choice of sides.
