Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup sugar-free ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar-free ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.

Step 2

Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to the marinade. Stir until all the spices are well incorporated.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the preheated grill.

Step 6

Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite low-carb side dishes, such as a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables.
