Baked BBQ Chicken Breast
We all love a good grilled chicken, and this Baked BBQ Chicken has all the flavors and smokiness, but it's made in the kitchen instead! You'll get perfectly juicy and tender chicken without the heat of grilling outside. The secret? A simple honey and barbecue sauce marinade that's so easy to whip up.

Ingredients
- 1-1 ¼ lbs. chicken breasts cut into 4-5 oz. portions
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 lime juice
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- ½ tsp. salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Marinate the chicken: Mix together the barbecue sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a large bowl. Reserve ¼ cup of it. Add the chicken and toss until well combined. Optional: Marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Bake the chicken: Add the chicken to a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 24-26 minutes, brushing with the remaining marinade during the last 5 minutes of cooking. You’ll know the chicken is done when the middle is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
