Ingredients
- 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Salt And Pepper
- Garlic Powder, To Taste
- ½ cups BBQ Sauce
- ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella, Plus 2 Tablespoons
- ⅓ whole Red Onion, Peeled
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray baking pan lightly with oil and place the chicken in the pan. Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Place 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce on each breast and spread sauce over the chicken with the back of your spoon. Sprinkle 2 1/2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella on each breast.
If starting with a whole red onion, peel and cut in half. Start making thin slices and place 4 to 5 slices of onion on each chicken breast. (You’ll probably use 1/3 of your whole onion.)
Bake chicken for 25 minutes, uncovered. (Don’t over-bake, or the chicken will be dry.) Let chicken rest on the stove, covered loosely with foil, for a few minutes before cutting into it. This will keep it juicy and allow it to finish cooking. The chicken should no longer be pink inside.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
