Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar-free ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to the marinade. Stir until all the spices are well incorporated.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the preheated grill.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite low-carb side dishes, such as a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables.
