A protein plus a sauce is a mighty recipe for a quick weeknight dinner. These BBQ chicken breasts are further proof of that equation’s success. Whether you serve the sauce as a dip or slather it on as a glaze, it’s precisely the way to elevate fairly basic ingredients to something a touch more special.
This BBQ chicken breast recipe calls on just six ingredients, three of which are salt, pepper, and oil, so not only is it quick, it’s inexpensive. Serve with potato salad, roasted vegetables, and a roll to round out the plate.
Recipe Tips for BBQ Chicken Breasts
- Cooking chicken breasts always comes down to avoiding dry meat. Thinning the chicken a bit allows you to cook them through quickly, with some wiggle room to finish with a broil, and not have them overcook.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Freeze the chicken (cooked) for up to five months.
- Reheat from refrigerated at 375°F for 10 minutes. Reheat from frozen at 400°F for 20 minutes.
- Serve with mashed sweet potatoes, roasted vegetables or on top of a salad.
