Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk or non-dairy milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken pieces.
- Grill: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, basting with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Make the Cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, gluten-free flour, baking powder, and sugar. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Bake: Pour the cornbread batter into a greased baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Once the chicken is cooked and the cornbread is baked, serve plates with BBQ chicken alongside a slice of warm gluten-free cornbread. Enjoy!
