Barbecue sauces are kinda like fingerprints, every state and region seems to have its own unique pattern. We’re paying homage to Alabama with a tangy-sweet white BBQ sauce, blended from mayo, honey, garlic and apple cider vinegar to coat the tongue just-so. It’s an ideal match for seared-to-tender chicken breasts, fanned out in slices over a warm panzanella salad. Perk it up with crisp string beans and radishes—plus the requisite croutons for complete crunchy-faction.

Preparation
Cook the chicken
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the string beans; halve. Small-dice the radishes. Mince the garlic.
Boil the string beans
Add the string beans to the pot of boiling water and boil, 2 to 3 min., until bright green. Drain the string beans.
Make the Alabama-style BBQ sauce
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mayo, honey, garlic (start with ½ the honey and garlic for a milder flavour), ½ the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
Make the panzanella & serve
In a large bowl, combine the string beans, radishes, croutons, remaining vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and S&P. Divide the panzanella between your plates. Top with the chicken. Drizzle with the Alabama-style BBQ sauce. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
