Apple Barbecue Chicken

I have a new commitment to try to post more quick and easy recipes for dinner... because I need to work on trimming my meal prep time and because I know most of us love quick, simple meals that taste great.  Here's one we tried this week and all really liked!  Nothing fancy, just simple and good (and fast!)

4 chicken breast halves, boneless

1/2 t. pepper

1 T. olive oil

2/3 c. chunky applesauce

2/3 c. spicy BBQ sauce

2 T. brown sugar

1 t. chili powder

Sprinkle chicken with pepper.  In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil on both sides.  In a small bowl., combine the remaining ingredients.  Pour over chicken.  Cover and cook 7-10 minutes longer. 

I served this with garlicky brown rice (recipe in next post), and buttered peas. I think it would be better with steamed broccoli, but I didn't get to the market that day, so frozen peas it was! :)
