A delicious and healthy Low Carb BBQ Chicken Bowl featuring tender chicken breast tossed in flavorful BBQ sauce, served over a bed of cauliflower rice and topped with melted cheese and fresh green onions. Perfect for a low-carb, high-protein meal that is quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup low sugar BBQ sauce

Base

  • 2 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes, then slice or shred the chicken.
  2. Toss with BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with flavorful sauce.
  3. Prepare Cauliflower Rice: If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw and drain any excess water. In the same pan, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice for 3-4 minutes until tender but not mushy. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Place the cauliflower rice at the bottom of your serving bowls. Top with the BBQ sauced chicken.
  5. Add Cheese and Green Onions: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the warm chicken so it slightly melts. Garnish with sliced green onions for freshness and a mild onion flavor.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • To make this dish dairy-free, omit the cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
  • For extra flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika or chili powder to the chicken before cooking.
  • Cauliflower rice can be substituted with other low-carb vegetables like zucchini noodles or broccoli rice.
