Skillet Barbecued Chicken

Submitted by Babs in Toyland

"For those cold or rainy days when you can't go out and grill, this is a great tasting barbecue chicken that has loads of flavor. Great served with baked potatoes or even with buttered noodles, a nice green vegetable and a salad. from Mr. Food"

It wasn't cold and rainy, and we could have gone outside, but it was too hot. So.....did this. I am glad too, because this was terrific! I used ground New Mexico chile powder, and since it doesn't have all the other spices in it, I added another clove of garlic. I used the chicken breasts, like you did. This was sooo good. Thank you Babs for sharing this keeper.

The BBQ sauce in this recipe would win a BBQ contest it is so good. We have lots of BBQ joints in Texas, but I haven't tasted anything to compare with this recipe. Barb in Texas

INCREDIBLE skillet barbecued chicken! Made as directed and it turned out wonderful! Not too spicy and not too sweet.

This was really good. I was a bit leary before making but it had a good taste. I followed the recipe exactly as written other then I used boneless chicken breasts.

This was good and very easy to make! I cut back on the recipe and used only 1lb of chicken breasts, used garlic and onion powder instead of the real stuff, and lastly, I realized I didn't have tomato sauce, so I substituted tomato soup instead. Will be making this one again! Thanks for posting, Babs in Toyland!
