Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Sauce:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, and ketchup. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
3. Prepare the Onions:
Finely chop the onion and add it to the sauce mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the onions throughout the sauce.
4. Prepare the Chicken:
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.
5. Coat the Chicken:
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.
6. Bake:
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.
7. Rest:
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.
8. Serve:
Serve the BBQ baked chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
