Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons Montreal chicken grill seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili pepper powder
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Brush all sides of chicken with oil. In small bowl, mix grill seasoning, brown sugar and chili pepper powder; sprinkle on both sides of chicken.
  • 2
    Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat remaining ingredients with wire whisk until blended. Drizzle mayonnaise mixture on 4 serving plates. Top with chicken.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    White barbecue sauce is popular in northern Alabama. It starts with a base of mayonnaise instead of tomato or vinegar.
  • tip 2
    Chipotle chili pepper powder has a distinct “bite” and smoky flavor. Use more or less to your taste. You can also substitute regular chili powder, but it won't have the slight smoky flavor.
