This BBQ chicken breast recipe is simple and quick to cook. You don’t need extra time for marinades or fancy rubs. All you need are good quality boneless, skinless chicken breasts, extra virgin oil, freshly ground black pepper, a hot grill or oven, and your favorite BBQ sauce for moist and juicy chicken breasts.

Dip and coat the chicken in cooked sauce and cook on the grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once. Move chicken to the skillet with sauce and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side.

• 3. Healthy barbecued chicken

In this BBQ chicken recipe, grilled chicken is updated with an easy, healthier barbecue sauce.

Move chicken over indirect heat and continue to grill for about 18–25 minutes, depending on size. Bast the chicken with barbecue sauce, turning it occasionally. Transfer chicken to a platter and serve with the reserved sauce alongside.

• 4. Australian grilled chicken

Australian cooking is stylish and chic, always innovative and yet basically quite simple. For this Australian BBQ chicken recipe, you will need vinegar, garlic, freshly ground pepper, lime, boneless chicken breasts and some fresh arugula.

After gently pounding the chicken breasts until they have a uniform thickness, place in baking dish and cover with marinade for about 5 minutes.

Grilled limes caramelize slightly, providing an eye appeal and a lovely citrus element when squeezed over the chicken.
