How to Make Barbecued Chicken Breasts

  1. **Make the Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Whisk all sauce ingredients together thoroughly.
  3. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-low heat.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
  6. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  7. Brush both sides of the chicken breasts generously with about half of the barbecue sauce.
  8. Place the chicken breasts in a foil-lined baking pan (for easier cleanup) on the grill or under the broiler.
  9. Grill or broil for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting frequently with the remaining sauce.
  10. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
