Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush the spice mixture onto the chicken breasts evenly, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 5
Baste the chicken with the low-carb barbecue sauce in the final 2 minutes of cooking, turning to coat both sides.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes, then thinly slice the chicken.
