Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Keto-friendly barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes while the grill is heating.
Step 5
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).
Step 6
While the chicken is grilling, mix keto-friendly barbecue sauce with lemon juice to create a glaze.
Step 7
In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the barbecue sauce glaze liberally onto each side of the chicken.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the chicken with extra keto-friendly barbecue sauce on the side, if desired, and enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
