Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken tenders or boneless skinless breasts
- Optional: 1 large broccoli head cut into florets and steamed
- Optional: 3 cups of cooked rice of choice
For the BBQ SAUCE:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup honey

- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp dry mustard
- 2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce. Take about 1/3 cup of the sauce to reserve for later on.
- Chop the chicken into 1-inch pieces.
- To the large bowl with the BBQ sauce, add the chicken pieces and stir well to coat. Allow them to marinate for 30 minutes over the counter, or refrigerate overnight.
