Suzanne’s BBQ Chicken with Best Ever Cornbread Muffins

Suzanne’s BBQ Chicken
From the kitchen of Suzanne Bohannon Mariencheck

Suzanne is one of my closest and dearest friends. She and her brother, Richie, introduced me to my husband. She is also a godmother to one of my kids. She is a wonderful wife, mother and friend and has become just a phenomenal cook. I am so blessed to have her as my friend. We have been through so much together, good and bad, and I know we will always be there for each other!

½ onion, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 to 3 chicken breast halves, cubed
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 bunch green onions, chopped
½ bottle of your favorite BBQ Sauce (tomato based-I like Germantonw Commisary or Rendezvous, but Bull's Eye or KC Masterpiece will work)
Corn Muffins*, Jiffy Brand or your favorite recipe
Cooked white rice

In a skillet, heat oil and sauté onion and chicken until golden brown. Add diced tomatoes, green onions and BBQ sauce. Cook until bubbly and chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice with a corn muffin on the side.

*Best Ever Corn Muffins
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup frozen yellow corn

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream together butter, sugar, honey, eggs, and salt in a large bowl. Add flour, cornmeal, and baking powder and blend thoroughly.
Add milk while mixing. Add corn to mixture and combine by hand until corn is worked in. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan and fill each cup with batter. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins begin to turn brown on top.
