Easy Low Carb BBQ Chicken Bowl
Juicy chicken, caramelized onions, smoky BBQ sauce, and melted cheese, utterly delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/3 cup low-carb BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Colby Jack)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and develop a light golden color.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet with the onions. Cover the pan and let them cook over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes to lock in moisture. Remove the lid and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked (165°F internal temperature), which should take about 10 minutes.
- Shred the cooked chicken directly in the pan using two forks. Pour in the low-carb BBQ sauce and stir everything together, ensuring the chicken and onions are well coated. Let the mixture cook for an additional 1-2 minutes so the flavors blend beautifully.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken mixture. Cover the pan again and let it sit for about 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and gloriously gooey. Remove from heat and serve immediately!
