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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Brush the chicken breasts with the mixed olive oil seasoning until fully coated on all sides, and set aside.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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).
Step 6
During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the prepared BBQ sauce on both sides, allowing it to glaze slightly.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the chicken with a fresh salad or vegetables of your choice, adding any remaining BBQ sauce as desired.
