Chicken Breasts with Hoisin Molasses BBQ Sauce

This recipe originally calls for pork chops, but we don't eat a lot of pork so I decided it would be just as good with chicken. The sauce for this recipe is so yummy that I could just eat it with a spoon! I served the chicken with a side of brown rice and mixed veggies.

Ingredients:
3 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp molasses
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 garlic cloves minced ( I grated them)
2 tsp chinese hot mustard ( I omitted)
Cooking Spray
salt & Pepper
6 (4 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts ( I used 4)
4 green onions ( I omitted)
3 c. cooked white rice ( I used brown rice)

Directions:
Combine sugar and molasses in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook 3 minutes or until the sugar melts, stirring frequently. Stir in hoisin and the next 3 ingredients; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in mustard. Keep warm.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle salt & pepper on the chicken. Grill until it is done. Add chicken to the hoisin mixture, turning to coat. Add onions to the pan and cook until wilted. Remove onions fom the pan; chop. Combine onions with 1/4 tsp salt, and rice; serve with the chicken.

Note: I used the outside grill to grill the chicken and baste with the sauce.
Serving size: 1 chicken breast and 1/2 c. rice.
