Ketchup Chicken

---

I always argue with my husband when he dumps ketchup on prime cuts of beef, but an article in last week's paper gave this recipe in a story about chefs using humble ingredients to make great sauces - and this one really put me in my place!! I am no longer a ketchup snob! i did use heinz low-carb ketchup to keep this more in line with my low-carb lifestyle.
