BBQ Chicken Skillet (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 5 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

02 - 1 medium onion, sliced thinly

03 - ½ cup of shredded cheese

04 - 1 teaspoon of olive oil

05 - ⅓ cup of BBQ sauce (choose low-carb)

06 - Salt and pepper for seasoning

# Instructions:

01 - Drizzle olive oil in a medium-sized skillet and warm it over medium heat. Toss in the sliced onion and stir every now and then for 3-4 minutes until it softens and starts to brown lightly.

02 - Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken. Lay the thighs into the skillet where the onions are cooking. Cover it up and let it cook on medium-low for 2-3 minutes. Remove the cover and keep cooking while flipping them occasionally, ensuring they hit 165°F inside (around 10 minutes total).

03 - After the chicken is fully cooked, grab two forks and pull the meat apart right in the pan. Pour the BBQ sauce in and stir well so all the chicken chunks get coated evenly.

04 - Scatter the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken mixture in the pan. Put the lid back on for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt. Serve it nice and warm.

# Notes:

01 - Let those onions brown fully to boost the flavor. The chicken will taste better too if you let it get a nice sear before shredding.

02 - If you'd like, toss some sliced mushrooms into the skillet while cooking the onions to add extra flavor and nutrients.

03 - Check your BBQ sauce label to keep it truly low carb—steer clear of ones with high sugar content.
