Okay so I got a new recipe book collection last week and I LOVE it! It is the authors of both "Looneyspoons" and "Eat, Shrink and be Merry". They take good yummy favourite recipes and make them healthy.
I saw this recipe and it sounded delicious so I thought I would give it a try. And guess what? It was DELICIOUS!!! Weight Watchers Points Plus comes in at 1 point for the sauce, plus the weight of your chicken. That is fantastic if you ask me! And the kids loved it too! We served it up with some baked potatoes.
So, that said, here is the recipe.
INGREDIENTS
8 boneless, skinless, chicken thighs or breasts
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup maple syrup OR liquid honey
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp grated gingerroot
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp cornstarch
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a 9 X 13 baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange chicken in pan in single layer.
2. To make sauce, whisk together remaining ingredients, except cornstarch, in a medium bowl. Pour evenly over chicken. Turn pieces to coat both sides with sauce. Bake, uncovered, for about 40 minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
3. Remove chicken from pan but keep warm. Carefully pour sauce from pan into a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Combine cornstarch with an equal amount of water and mis until smooth. Add to sauce. Cook until sauce is bubble and has thickened, about 1 minute. Serve hot chicken with extra sauce on top.
