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
- 0 Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Step 4
Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the foil and generously brush each chicken breast with the low-fat BBQ sauce.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve with your choice of sides.
