Yes, going to try this!!!

Ingredients

4-6 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
1 bottle BBQ sauce (The recipe I have called for Sweet Baby Ray’s, we always use that but with Carter’s stomach problems I am going to switch to a gluten free one, bbq sauce really bothers his stomach)
