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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Step 3
Pour half of the BBQ sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the other half for basting.
Step 4
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Serve the BBQ chicken hot, with any remaining BBQ sauce on the side.
