Saucy Chicken

SERVES: 6

PREP: 1 Min

COOK TIME: 31 Min

Grandma used to spend all day in the kitchen preparing this savory dish. With a few shortcuts, we can have the same taste with a lot less work.

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 to 2 pounds total)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

Heat the oil and melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and chicken and brown the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; mix well and add to the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Uncover and cook for 5 to 10 more minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is no longer pink.

Notes

If your barbecue grill is available, you may want to cook this outside - just make the sauce as above, marinate the chicken in the sauce mixture, then grill it for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until no pink remains in the chicken.
