BONELESS CHICKEN WITH BARBECUE SAUCE

This sauce can be made very mild, spicy or hot. The way I have it is spicy but not hot. You will have barbecue sauce leftover. (See Baked Chicken Basted with Barbecue Sauce to use up the leftover barbecue sauce.)
                                      (serves 4)

Ingredients:

  • 40 ounces ketchup
  • 6 tablespoons vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
  • 1-1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin (can be omitted)
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder (can be omitted)
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (can be omitted)
  • 1 can tomato paste (6 ounces)
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Directions:

Barbecue Sauce - Combine all the ingredients except chicken and tomato paste in a large pot. Bring to a boil and let simmer for ½ hour. Stir in tomato paste at the end and let simmer for a few minutes. Make sure you stir this sauce every so often while you are cooking it. This is a thick barbecue sauce and you don't want it to stick to the bottom of the pot while you are making it. Now you have your barbecue sauce. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken in 1-½ quart casserole baking dish. Cover chicken with barbecue sauce. Cover casserole dish and bake for 1-½ hours, remove cover for the last ½ hour.

If you want a very mild sauce, omit the cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper. You can even cut back on the vinegar and worcestershire sauce if you like it really mild. You can freeze leftover barbecue sauce.
