Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 8 boneless/skinless chicken thighs
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup soy sauce (or low-sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari)
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce)

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large saucepan on low heat, add the olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and barbecue sauce. Stir to combine. 
2. Add the chicken. (You could use chicken breasts instead of thighs.) Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until chicken is cooked, about 20 to 25 minutes. (Chicken is cooked through at 165 degrees F internal temperature on a food thermometer.) Serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
