Pomegranate Chipotle Chicken
I cannot claim this recipe, as it was actually Blake who cooked dinner. My good friend ...cough Connie cough.... bought me this amazing Pomegranate Chipotle BBQ sauce from Pamered Chef a while back, and it's been sitting in my fridge begging to be used. I kept forgetting about it though, and finally this Sunday presented a perfect opportunity. Blake was in charge of dinner, and he wanted to marinate his chicken. We only had two options, Pomegranate BBQ or Sriracha. Although Blake is a Sriracha lover, I'm not such a big fan. AKA, we went with the BBQ. He added a few cloves of garlic and a couple tablespoons of spices and off he went.
INGREDIENTS:
2 lb Chicken Breasts/Tenderloins
1 Bottle Pomegranate Chipotle BBQ Sauce (or whatever kind you like!)
1 head Garlic - peeled
2 Tbs. Chicken Grill Seasoning (any grill seasoning will work)
1. In a large plastic Zip Lock bag, add in all of the ingredients, allowing them to marinate for at least an hour or so.
2. In a large pot, over medium heat, add in the chicken breasts. Allow them to sear for a minute or two on each side. Add in the rest of the marinade from the bag, and cover.
3. Let the chicken and marinade cook for about 15 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked through.
4. Remove chicken when ready and set aside. To make a sauce out of the remaining BBQ sauce, add in chicken stock or white wine. Allow this to reduce back down. This will take approximately 5 or 6 minutes. Pour the sauce on top of the chicken and serve.
** The garlic will end up like roasted garlic, which is simply delicious!
