Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Tomato paste
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound each breast to an even thickness.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

While the grill is heating, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Set aside some of the sauce for serving and use the rest for basting the chicken.

Step 7

Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the chicken generously with the prepared BBQ sauce.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the grilled chicken with the reserved BBQ sauce on the side.
