Fiber-Rich BBQ Chicken
A delicious and heart-healthy barbecue chicken recipe packed with fiber and plant-based proteins.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (look for low-sugar options)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the barbecue sauce mixture over them. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
Grill chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Baste the chicken with the remaining barbecue sauce mixture during the last few minutes of grilling.
Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your fiber-rich BBQ chicken!
