Ingredients

4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon Salt
0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
0.5 cup Low-carb BBQ sauce
0.25 cup Sugar-free apricot preserves
0.5 teaspoon Paprika
0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts in the hot skillet for about 3 minutes per side until they are golden brown.

Step 5

While the chicken is searing, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the low-carb BBQ sauce, sugar-free apricot preserves, paprika, onion powder, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well until smooth.

Step 6

Once the chicken is seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the apricot BBQ sauce over the chicken in the skillet.

Step 7

Use a spoon to evenly coat each chicken breast with the sauce.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Low Carb BBQ Apricot Chicken with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables.
