Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix all the BBQ sauce ingredients together until well combined. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Set aside.
- Prepare the chicken by patting it dry with paper towels. This will help the seasoning stick better.
- In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- While the chicken is grilling, you can brush some of the BBQ sauce on each side of the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking to enhance the flavor and create a nice glaze.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked and nicely grilled, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Serve the Chicken Chop with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side for dipping or drizzle it over the top of the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
- You can serve the chicken chop with your favorite side dishes like grilled vegetables, coleslaw, or potato salad.
