Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, and ketchup. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Finely chop the onion and add it to the sauce mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the onions throughout the sauce.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish.
Pour the BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Use a spoon or spatula to spread the sauce if necessary.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The sauce should be bubbly and starting to caramelize.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This lets the juices redistribute within the chicken, making it more flavorful and juicy.
Serve the BBQ baked chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
