Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or monk fruit sweetener
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the sugar-free BBQ sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, fresh lemon juice, and stevia or monk fruit sweetener until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the olive oil over the chicken and rub evenly to coat all sides.
Step 3
Pour half of the prepared BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Reserve the other half of the sauce for later. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for best results.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Step 6
During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the remaining BBQ sauce over the chicken for added flavor.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the BBQ chicken hot and enjoy your sugar-free meal!
