Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-carb barbecue sauce
- 8 pieces Romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 cup Coleslaw mix
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the spice mixture onto the chicken breasts evenly, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Baste the chicken with the low-carb barbecue sauce in the final 2 minutes of cooking, turning to coat both sides.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes, then thinly slice the chicken.
In a separate bowl, toss the coleslaw mix with apple cider vinegar and sweetener. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the sandwiches, place 2 lettuce leaves together to create a sturdy base. Layer with sliced BBQ chicken and top with a generous spoonful of the coleslaw mixture.
Repeat for the remaining servings and serve immediately.
