Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 4 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper to make the BBQ sauce.
Lightly coat a baking dish with olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Brush a generous amount of the homemade BBQ sauce over each chicken breast, coating them completely.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and baste the chicken again with more BBQ sauce.
Return the chicken to the oven, uncovered, and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the BBQ chicken with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
