Be sure to remove any visible fat before using. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Barbecue sauce:<\/strong> A good quality barbecue sauce is key to the flavour of this dish. Choose one you enjoy, as the sweetness, smokiness and spice level can vary between brands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passata:<\/strong> Passata forms the base of the sauce and combines beautifully with the barbecue sauce. It adds richness without making the dish too heavy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken stock:<\/strong> Stock adds extra depth of flavour and helps create a delicious sauce for the chicken and vegetables to cook in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red onion:<\/strong> Red onion adds sweetness and colour to the dish. White or yellow onion can be used if that's what you have available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baby carrots:<\/strong> These add natural sweetness and hold their shape well during cooking. If using regular carrots, simply peel and chop into bite-sized pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Courgette (zucchini):<\/strong> Courgette adds extra vegetables and absorbs the flavours of the sauce beautifully without overpowering the dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red pepper:<\/strong> Red pepper adds sweetness, colour and texture. Yellow or orange peppers work just as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Fresh garlic adds plenty of savoury flavour and complements the barbecue sauce perfectly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jalape\u00f1os:<\/strong> These add a gentle kick of heat. Use one for a milder dish or two if you prefer a little more spice. Remove the seeds for less heat if desired. You can use jarred ones if you can't get fresh. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Black beans:<\/strong> Black beans add extra protein, fibre and texture, making the dish even more filling and satisfying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and black pepper:<\/strong> Season to taste, keeping in mind that barbecue sauce and stock can already contain some salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive Oil Spray:<\/strong> Used for browning the chicken and vegetables with minimal added oil while still developing plenty of flavour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Kickin' Barbecue Chicken is easy to adapt with different proteins, vegetables and beans depending on what you have available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Swap the chicken thighs:<\/strong> Chicken thighs give the best flavour and stay wonderfully tender as they cook, but you can use chicken breast if preferred. Just keep in mind that chicken breast cooks more quickly and can dry out more easily, so you may need to reduce the cooking time slightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try pork instead:<\/strong> Diced pork loin or pork tenderloin works really well with the barbecue flavours. As with chicken breast, adjust the cooking time as needed to avoid overcooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change the beans:<\/strong> Black beans are a great match for the barbecue sauce, but kidney beans, pinto beans or mixed beans can all be used instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust the heat:<\/strong> Use more or fewer jalape\u00f1os depending on your preferred spice level, or leave them out altogether for a milder dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Switch up the vegetables:<\/strong> Courgette, peppers and carrots work beautifully, but you can also add sweet potato, butternut squash, mushrooms, corn or green beans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a different barbecue sauce:<\/strong> The flavour of the dish will vary depending on the barbecue sauce you choose. Smoky, honey, spicy or bourbon-style barbecue sauces all work well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add extra vegetables:<\/strong> Stir through some spinach or kale towards the end of cooking for an easy way to add more greens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it vegetarian:<\/strong> Replace the chicken with extra beans or a meat-free chicken alternative and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add a cheesy topping:<\/strong> Sprinkle some grated cheddar, mozzarella or a Mexican-style cheese blend over the top before the final few minutes of cooking and bake until melted for a delicious cheesy finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9.jpg\" alt=\"serving of kickin barbecue chicken with rice on a white plate\" class=\"wp-image-47739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9-720x1087.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9-360x544.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9-180x272.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9-560x846.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/kickin-chicken-9-150x227.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-branding-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Kickin' Barbecue Chicken is packed with chicken, vegetables and beans, making it a complete and satisfying meal on its own.
