    1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 cup South Beach Barbecue Sauce (see recipe above)
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper


    Heat oven to 350*F.

    Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, 2 minutes per side.

    Place chicken, in a single layer, in an ovenproof baking dish and spoon sauce evenly over the top. Bake until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbling, 18 to 20 minutes.
