Instructions

1. Heat the Oil and Sauté the Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the sliced onion until soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.

3. Add the BBQ Sauce: Reduce the heat and pour the low-carb BBQ sauce over the chicken. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

4. Assemble the Bowl: Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice or shred it. Layer the chicken and onions into a bowl, then top with the shredded cheese.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Easy Low Carb BBQ Chicken Bowl warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

This low-carb meal is packed with protein from the chicken and provides a good source of healthy fats from the olive oil and cheese.

Store the chicken, onions, and cheese separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.

To reheat, simply place the chicken and onions in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying. Top with the cheese and heat until warmed through.
