This Low Carb BBQ Chicken Bowl is a quick and satisfying meal combining tender shredded chicken thighs with sautéed onions, tangy barbecue sauce, and melted cheese. Perfect for low-carb or diabetic diets, it’s ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

⅓ cup lower-carb BBQ sauce

½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or colby jack)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet with the onions. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Uncover and continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (about 10 minutes).
  4. Using two forks, shred the chicken in the skillet. Stir in the BBQ sauce until the chicken is well coated.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken mixture. Cover the skillet and let it sit for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  6. Serve hot, optionally over sautéed peppers and onions or wrapped in a low-carb tortilla.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F.
  • Choose a BBQ sauce with no added sugars for a true low-carb option.
  • Experiment with different cheeses or add vegetables for variety.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
