Grilled BBQ Chicken

We just bought a grill and it has been life changing!  Okay, that might be a little extreme... but it does make for some quick and easy summer weeknight dinners.  Our 2nd grilling attempt was to try our hand at barbeque chicken.  We used a store bought sauce for this meal, but I think it would be fun to try out a homemade BBQ recipe at some point.

Servings: 2
Serving Size: 1 BBQ chicken breast
Points Plus: 6pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy!
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook/Grill Time: 20 min

Ingredients:
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper
4 Tbsp. Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce

Directions:
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts.  Generoulsy season each side with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.  Place on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes before flipping.  Cook the other side for an additional 5 minutes before adding the BBQ sauce.  Brush a generous amount of sauce on one side of the chicken breast and flip to cook and sear in the BBQ flavor.  You will probably end up losing some of the sauce on the side that is face down on the grill, but don't worry the taste will still be there.  Brush a coat of BBQ sauce to the top of the chicken breast and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until cooked through.

Tip:
A good hearty pair of tongs are a MUST when grilling!  They allow for easy flipping of chicken breasts and they help to minimize losing any BBQ sauce.
