Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup low-sugar BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or if using an oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mix.
Step 3
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub it thoroughly to coat.
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts and rub it in gently.
Step 6
If grilling, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For oven users, place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Step 7
During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the low-sugar BBQ sauce.
Step 8
Remove chicken from the grill or oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken, then garnish with fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately, pairing with your favorite low-carb sides such as cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad.
