How to Make Applesauce Barbecue Chicken
- Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika.
- Pour the applesauce barbecue sauce over the chicken in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve immediately over rice, quinoa, or your favorite side dish.
