Time 36m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow onions or 1 strong onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Steps:

Combine the tomato sauce, garlic, oil, onion, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder and vinegar in a small saucepan.
Heat and stir for 5 minutes.
Remove ½ cup of the sauce and keep the remainder at a warm temperature, but do not boil.
Set the Temperature to 375°F/185°C to allow the George Foreman grill to preheat.
Place the chicken in the grill and spoon ½ of the sauce over each breast. Close the grill and set the Timer to 5 minutes.
When the Timer beeps, check the chicken with the tip of a knife. If the chicken is not cooked completely through, continue grilling for 1 to 2 minutes.
Pass the remaining sauce with the grilled chicken.

Tips:

To achieve the best flavor, use a variety of spices and seasonings. This recipe includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper, but you can adjust the measurements to suit your taste.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vinegar. The original recipe calls for apple cider vinegar, but you could also try white vinegar, rice vinegar, or even balsamic vinegar.
If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for the full 30 minutes, you can still make this recipe. Just marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes, or even just 5 minutes if you're in a hurry.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cook it until the chicken is cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

This Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're grilling for a backyard party or just cooking a weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to please everyone at the table. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy some amazing chicken!
