Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 4 pieces Low carb sandwich buns or lettuce wraps
- 1 cup Coleslaw mix (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 3
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and then coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Step 4
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil and sear the chicken breasts on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the chicken broth into the pan around the chicken breasts.
Step 6
Cover the skillet with foil or a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then shred the chicken using two forks.
Step 8
Mix the shredded chicken with the sugar-free BBQ sauce until well coated.
Step 9
Assemble the sandwiches by spooning the pulled chicken onto the low carb buns or into lettuce wraps.
Step 10
Top with coleslaw if desired, and serve immediately.
