Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup prepared barbecue sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup red wine
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Whisk together the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, red wine, maple syrup, chili powder, dry mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Place the chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Turn the chicken pieces over in the sauce to coat both sides.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the baking dish, and keep warm.
  • Pour the remaining sauce into a saucepan, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce; reduce heat to a simmer, and allow the sauce to thicken, whisking constantly. Return the chicken to the dish, and pour the thickened sauce over the chicken to serve.
