Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 serving cooking spray
½ cup barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
¼ cup honey
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to an even thickness
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.

My husband and three children love this tender, sweet and spicy chicken. Peach preserves add just a touch of sweetness, while taco seasoning and salsa give this dish some kick. This entree can be made even zippier yet by adding more taco seasoning and using spicier salsa. -Sheri White, Higley, Arizona
