Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine low-sodium chicken broth, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth to create the BBQ sauce.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour half of the BBQ sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the other half for basting.
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, basting with reserved BBQ sauce occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F (75°C) inside the thickest part of the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the BBQ chicken hot, with any remaining BBQ sauce on the side.
