This is a variation on my own recipe for Texas style barbecue.

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 T plus 1 t Worcestershire sauce

2 T plus 1 t liquid smoke

2 t mustard powder

1 t chili powder

1 t red wine or apple cider vinegar

1 t hot sauce

1/2 t onion powder

1 clove garlic, minced

salt and pepper to taste

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust as desired.

Remove from the heat and let sit for at least an hour.

Grill chicken over medium high heat. Brush with sauce during the last few minutes.

Serve chicken with additional sauce.

I served the chicken and bbq sauce with steamed cauliflower and broccoli with cheese sauce.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d639/d878/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

You did it again! Guess what Mark doesn't like? Broccoli and Cauliflower, yeah, and guess what I LOVE? Yep, both of them. Does this figure or what? LOL

This IS going in the cookbook, right????

Hugs (and now I have to go make wraps, yummy, finally got Mark to try those, but it took forever!),

It's 7:32 and I still have not decided what to cook for dinner. :(
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Aug 8, 2009, 7:34pm EDT
Oh, Shanny, this photo should be illegal. Now I'm hungry! It looks delicious. The recipe sounds good, too. I think the brown sugar is the key ingredient.

And thanks for visiting CeeCee's post! Have a good Saturday night!

Karen M. Aug 8, 2009, 9:23pm EDT
Sounds good to me!
it looks good. well, im here. cam and key are here. and we picked up 2 more children throughout the course of this weekend. what's best for dinner during a sleepover? pizza, of course!
☀ Aunt Shanny Aug 8, 2009, 9:59pm EDT
Does any kid ever complain about pizza?
nope. plus, it's cheaper than the fried fish and shrimp i had planned before they got here.
☀ Aunt Shanny Aug 8, 2009, 10:06pm EDT
Mmm... fried fish...
David W. Aug 8, 2009, 10:21pm EDT
I see you started working on my project.
☀ Aunt Shanny Aug 8, 2009, 10:24pm EDT
Top priority.

That sure looks good. I love meat with homemade barbecue sauce. We ate at Burger King after our soggy doggie play date in Troy. Then we had homemade chicken rice soup tonight at home. My pit bull Spirit got Dog Star of the Month in our dog club this month! Its the first time any of my dogs have gotten it! Spirit gets a red bandana and I get a red dog club tee shirt, and Spirit gets featured on the web site. The dogs had a great time today running in the rain and rolling in the mud at their play date. There's nothing Spirit likes more than water except food! Spirit loves a good rain storm and some good mud puddles. Amy even played in the rain and she usually doesn't like water.
This is great! Sounds so wonderful.

Thanks for posting this to Family Friendly Foods & Recipes. You're featured for this wonderful meal.

This sounds great! I'm searching for a good recipe for barbeque that doesn't include pepper or hot spices. With my allergies it has been a challenge to find a tasty barbecue recipe.
☀ Aunt Shanny Aug 9, 2009, 9:01am EDT
Chili powder is rather mild, Trish.

Leave out the other spices and pepper but keep the chili powder.

Or try a white barbecue sauce.
Trish A. Aug 9, 2009, 9:22am EDT
Chilli powder would send me to the E.R.

I've never heard of a white barbecue sauce. What's in one?

That sounds fantastic. I usually buy Jack Daniels BBQ, but maybe I'll actually try doing this.
Donald M. Aug 10, 2009, 1:54pm EDT
Thanks for sharing your recipes Shanny. I know a tennesse gal that will be trying it I betcha. LOL
