One-Pan Saucy BBQ Chicken

In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, and salt to create a seasoning blend.

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Rub the seasoning blend evenly onto both sides of the chicken breasts.

Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the chicken breasts in the pan, turning occasionally, until the outside is golden and the inside is no longer pink, about 8-13 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

In a separate small bowl, combine the water and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, stirring well. Set this sauce mixture aside.

When the chicken is cooked through, pour the BBQ sauce mixture into the pan, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.

Toss the chicken in the sauce to coat it thoroughly, and use a wooden spoon to loosen any bits at the bottom of the pan to incorporate into the sauce.

Serve the saucy BBQ chicken immediately with your choice of side dish, such as coleslaw, corn on the cob, or a green salad.
