Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on a large plate or shallow dish. Rub the marinade evenly onto each piece of chicken, ensuring they are well coated.
Allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes while the grill is heating.
Once the grill is hot, place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, mix keto-friendly barbecue sauce with lemon juice to create a glaze.
In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the barbecue sauce glaze liberally onto each side of the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken with extra keto-friendly barbecue sauce on the side, if desired, and enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
