Rhubarb BBQ Sauce

Phase 2 and Phase 3 | Makes 1 1/2 cups
Prep time: 10 minutes | Total time: 20 minutes 

Ingredients 

For BBQ Sauce

8 ounces (about 3 stalks) rhubarb, sliced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 cup jarred roasted red peppers, drained
3 tablespoons Xylitol
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch of sea salt

For Rhubarb-Q Chicken:

Rhubarb BBQ Sauce
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

For BBQ Sauce:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered until the rhubarb is soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Puree the sauce in a blender (or use a stick blender to puree it right in the pot).

 

For Rhubarb-Q Chicken:

  1. Preheat a grill to medium heat. Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness, and season with salt and pepper. Grill on the first side until grill marks appear and the chicken releases easily from the grill, about 5 minutes. Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce into a bowl to baste the chicken with. Flip the chicken, brush with some of this sauce, and cook another 4 minutes or until nearly done. Flip and cook 1 minute more, and serve with extra sauce.

  2. Pair with your favorite veggies for Phase 2, and add a grain for a Phase 3 dinner.
