Chicken with Balsamic BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces or 4-6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts

For the BBQ Sauce:

1 C. Balsamic Vinegar

8oz. of Tomato Sauce

3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar, Honey or Molasses (I used the Brown sugar)

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

Directions

1) Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients into a small saucepan. Whisk until thoroughly combined, then simmer over medium heat until it's reduced by about a third. If it starts to stick to the bottom, reduce the heat to medium low. It should take between 15-25 minutes for the sauce to thicken and coat the back of a spoon.

2) Meanwhile, preheat a stove-top grill pan or the outdoor grill to medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

3) Transfer 1/2 cup of the BBQ sauce to a small bowl. Place the chicken on the grill for about 10 minutes per side, brushing with 1/2 cup (or more) of the BBQ sauce for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

4) Transfer chicken to a serving plate and serve with the remaining sauce.

* You can also butterfly your chicken or slice it in half horizontally to make thinner pieces. It will cook faster and you will also have more BBQ sauce.

Makes: 4 servings.

This is a very tasty recipe. If you have BBQ sauce left over you can keep it for about a week in the fridge to use on something else.
