Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the barbecue sauce by combining the sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, granulated erythritol, chili powder, and water in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Remove the barbecue sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken with a generous drizzle of the homemade low-carb barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
