Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• ¼ cup diced onion
• 5 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in ketchup, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Dip chicken in sauce to coat on both sides; reserve remaining sauce in the skillet. Transfer chicken onto the preheated grill and cook, turning once, until nicely browned on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

Return chicken to the skillet with sauce; simmer over medium heat until sticky, about 5 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
