How to Make Sweet Spicy Barbecue Chicken

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup tomato sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Remove 1/4 cup of the sauce and set aside. Keep the remaining sauce warm over very low heat (do not boil).
  4. Preheat your George Foreman Grill to 375°F (185°C).
  5. Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Spoon the reserved 1/4 cup of sauce evenly over each breast.
  6. Close the grill and cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Check the chicken's internal temperature with a meat thermometer. It should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. If the chicken is not cooked through, continue grilling for 1-2 minutes, checking the temperature frequently.
  9. Serve the grilled chicken immediately, drizzled with the remaining warm sauce.
