   • Cook Time: Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves.

   • Cooling Time: Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breast halves in a single layer in a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Pour about half of the cooled ketchup mixture over the chicken, ensuring both sides are coated. Cover and refrigerate both the chicken and the remaining ketchup mixture for 4 to 24 hours.

3. Prepare the Grill: Coat a grill rack with nonstick spray and preheat the grill according to the manufacturer’s directions. Ensure the temperature is medium-hot before proceeding.

4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the ketchup mixture, discarding any excess marinade. Coat the chicken pieces with nonstick spray and brush them with some of the remaining ketchup mixture. Place the chicken on the prepared grill rack and grill, uncovered, for 8 minutes.

   • Flip and Brush: Turn the chicken over and brush with the remaining ketchup mixture.

   • Cook Through: Continue grilling for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked. Discard any leftover ketchup mixture.

5. Alternative Broiling Method: If preferred, you can broil the chicken instead of grilling it. Follow these steps:

   • Prepare the Broiler: Coat the rack of a broiling pan with nonstick spray and preheat the broiler.

   • Broil the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discard any excess, and coat the chicken pieces with nonstick spray. Brush them with some of the remaining ketchup mixture and place them on the prepared rack. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes.

   • Flip and Brush Again: Turn the chicken over, brush with the remaining ketchup mixture, and continue broiling for 4 to 6 minutes, or until cooked through. Discard any remaining ketchup mixture.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve hot with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad.
• Garnish with chopped parsley or sliced green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
• Pair with a glass of chilled apple cider or your preferred beverage for a complete dining experience.
