Ingredients
Scale
1 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
⅓ cup lower carb BBQ sauce
½ cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onions and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Salt and pepper thighs then place in skillet with onions. Cover and cook on medium/low 2-3 minutes.
- Uncover and cook until chicken temp reaches 165 degrees F- about 10 minutes.
- Using 2 forks, shred chicken then stir in BBQ sauce.
- Top with cheese and cover 1-2 minutes to melt cheese.
Notes
- Pat chicken thighs dry before cooking for better browning.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes with the sauce.
