CHICKEN IN HONEY ROASTED BARBECUE SAUCE
Bakes in the oven bathed in Lisa Marshall’s Honey Roasted Barbecue Sauce, page 254, Low-Carbing Among Friends, Volume-1. This recipe could not be easier and the chicken is moist and tasty. Thank you, Lisa! :) This recipe I included in Volume 3 of Low-Carbing Among Friends, page 119.
3 lbs chicken breasts (1.4 kg)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tsp water (5 mL)
1/8 tsp garlic powder (0.5 mL)
1/8 tsp onion powder (0.5 mL)
1 egg yolk, OR 1/4 tsp xanthan gum, my idea (1 mL)
1 tsp water (5 mL)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Honey Roasted Barbecue Sauce: In blender, combine olive oil, honey substitute, OR sugar free maple pancake syrup, vinegar, mustard, ketchup, sweetener, liquid smoke, paprika, salt, lemon juice, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, egg yolk, OR xanthan gum and water. Blend until smooth.
Helpful Hints: This recipe produces fabulous, moist chicken breasts with wonderful flavor. Lisa Marshall’s sauce which mimics a special request item at Chick-Fil-A will also transcend ordinary, cut-up and warmed roast chicken from the grocery store into something special that you could even serve company with the right trimmings on the side. Pour the sauce (room temperature) over it. By the way, I simply blend the sauce in my blender, but Lisa cooks hers first.
