BBQ Chicken Skillet (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - ⅓ cup BBQ sauce with less sugar

02 - 5 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless

03 - ½ cup shredded cheese of your choice

04 - 1 medium onion, sliced thin

05 - Salt and pepper as needed

06 - 1 teaspoon olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium pan, warm up the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the sliced onions and cook them for 3-4 minutes, stirring once in a while, until they get soft and lightly browned.

02 - Sprinkle salt and pepper on each side of the chicken thighs. Place them in the pan with the onions. Cover and let them cook over medium-low heat for a couple of minutes. Remove the lid and keep cooking, flipping the chicken now and then, until they hit a safe internal temp of 165°F, which should take about 10 minutes total.

03 - When the chicken is cooked through, grab two forks and shred the meat right in the pan. Pour in the BBQ sauce and stir until every piece of chicken gets coated evenly.

04 - Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken mixture in the pan. Cover it up for a couple of minutes so the cheese melts nicely. Serve this dish while it's still warm.

# Notes:

01 - Let the onions brown really well to bring out their full flavor, and let the chicken get a good sear before shredding.

02 - If you'd like, throw in some sliced mushrooms with the onions for extra taste and nutrition.

03 - To keep this low carb, pick a BBQ sauce with little to no added sugars to make it great for diabetics.
