Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 4 pieces Low carb sandwich buns or lettuce wraps
- 1 cup Coleslaw mix (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and then coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil and sear the chicken breasts on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the chicken broth into the pan around the chicken breasts.
Cover the skillet with foil or a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then shred the chicken using two forks.
Mix the shredded chicken with the sugar-free BBQ sauce until well coated.
Assemble the sandwiches by spooning the pulled chicken onto the low carb buns or into lettuce wraps.
Top with coleslaw if desired, and serve immediately.
