Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.

Step 3

In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the chicken pieces out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden-brown, turning halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 6

While the chicken is baking, prepare the low sodium BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, and smoked paprika.

Step 7

Stir the sauce ingredients constantly until the mixture bubbles gently and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed but avoid adding salt if aiming to keep it low sodium.

Step 8

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer the pieces to a large bowl.

Step 9

Pour the warm BBQ sauce over the chicken pieces and toss until they are well coated.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of low sodium sides such as a greens salad or roasted vegetables.
