Ingredients
- ½cup prepared barbecue sauce
- ¼cup soy sauce
- ¼cup red wine
- ¼cup maple syrup
- 1tablespoon chili powder
- 1tablespoon dry mustard powder
- 1tablespoon garlic powder
- 1teaspoon onion powder
- 1teaspoon ground cumin
- 4skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1tablespoon cornstarch
- 1cup water
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).Step 2
Whisk together the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, red wine, maple syrup, chili powder, dry mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a bowl until thoroughly combined.Step 3
Place the chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Turn the chicken pieces over in the sauce to coat both sides.Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the baking dish, and keep warm.Step 5
Pour the remaining sauce into a saucepan, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the sauce; reduce heat to a simmer, and allow the sauce to thicken, whisking constantly. Return the chicken to the dish, and pour the thickened sauce over the chicken to serve.
