Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2/3 bottle(s) fat free, or lite italian dressing
1 cup(s) your preferred bottled barbecue sauce or my recipe for https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/main-course-chicken/homemade-barbecue-sauce.html?r=10
1/4 cup(s) brown sugar

Steps:

  • Butterfly chicken breasts and slice completely in half to make 6 pieces.
  • Place chicken breasts in a zip lock back and cover with Italian dressing. Press all the air out and seal.
  • Refrigerate chicken breasts for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Line a pan with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack over the foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and place on the rack. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix barbecue sauce and brown sugar, brush barbecue sauce onto top of chicken breasts, broil for 5 minutes or until sauce begins to caramelize. Flip chicken and repeat on the opposite side. (about 4-5 minutes per side.)
  • NOTE: You can also do this on the grill. Place chicken breasts on grill over medium high heat and cook for 8 minutes per side. Brush with sauce halfway through on each side.
