01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a large baking dish, arrange the chicken breasts along with the potatoes and sliced onion.

Step 2
Next, combine ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, margarine, lemon juice, dry mustard, salt, paprika, chili powder, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan. Warm it up over medium heat, stirring constantly until the brown sugar and salt have completely dissolved and the sauce starts to bubble.

Step 3
Pour this flavorful sauce evenly over the chicken and veggies, then cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Pop it in the oven and let it bake for about 2 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink inside, the juices run clear, and the sauce has thickened nicely. To be sure, check that the thickest part of the chicken reads at least 160°F (70°C) on a meat thermometer.
