BBQ Sauce

Simple BBQ Sauce

Great thing is, you can easily turn up or turn down the heat on this by adjusting the chili powder and honey ratios.

1 can of Tomato Sauce (8oz)
1/4 to 1/2 onion 
2-3 garlic cloves
1tsp. ground pepper
1 Tbs. of basalmic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 Tbs. of Raw honey
1 Tbs. ground mustard

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Add red pepper flakes to give the sauce a little kick. OR make it a bit sweeter by reducing heat and adding pure maple syrup, just a tad (maybe a tsp.)

Rosemary Bacon Chicken

 

Ingredients

4 tsp garlic powder

4 boneless, skinless organic-free range chicken breasts

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

4 sprigs fresh rosemary

4 thick slices bacon (should be nitrate free)

Instructions

Preheat outdoor grill for medium-high and oil grates

Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Lay one rosemary sprig on top of each chicken breast and wrap a slice of bacon around to hold the rosemary in place. Secure each piece of bacon with a toothpick or another rosemary sprig.

Cook the breasts about 8 minutes per side on the grill, or until juices run clear and there is no pink in the middle. Can be cooked indoors as well: Heavy skillet, If you are cooking chicken in a pan on the stove, more time is needed per side. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165° F. If you are roasting chicken in the oven, place chicken on baking tray at 350F for 40 minutes, or until fully cooked.
