Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons date paste (blended dates mixed with water)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Brush the chicken breasts with the mixed olive oil seasoning until fully coated on all sides, and set aside.
In another bowl, combine whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, tomato paste, date paste, and dried oregano. Stir until smooth to make the Whole30-compliant BBQ sauce.
Place the seasoned chicken on the preheated grill. Grill chicken for about 6 minutes per side or until cooked through with grill marks. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the prepared BBQ sauce on both sides, allowing it to glaze slightly.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve the chicken with a fresh salad or vegetables of your choice, adding any remaining BBQ sauce as desired.
