Hey all!

Today's recipe is more of a marinade and the general method I use to keep a BBQ dinner low carb. The trick to low carb bbq is a matter of keeping protein choices lean and adding simple vegetable sides. My personal go to are kebabs. Grab some skewers, your favorite meat, vegetables, grill and done. It's foul proof. If you're like me and crave the hearty bbq flavor, sugar free bbq sauce is our best friend. Not sponsored, but this G. Hughes Hickory sauce is truly my favorite at the moment.

Quick BBQ Marinade

• 1/2 cup G. Hughes Sugar Free BBQ Sauce (I like the hickory flavor)

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• onion powder

• garlic powder

• salt

• pepper

• paprika

*I don't have exact measurements for the spices. I season 'til my hearts content. I look for even color throughout. Seasoned salt works well too. Just remember some seasoned salt brands have added sugar.

Kebabs

• Skewers

• 4 chicken breast

• assorted vegetables

Cut chicken in bite size chunks. Add spices, followed by olive oil, and bbq sauce. Combine well, cover and refridgerate for 30 minutes to an hour. The more it marinates, the better.

Poke one piece of chicken through the pointed side of skewer, continue one piece at a time. I aim for 6 to 7 pieces of chicken per skewer. It's easier to keep track of protein macros this way. If you measure macros, consider using a food scale for meals like these.

For vegetable skewers, I simply mimic what my local grocery store sales, mushrooms, red onion, bell pepper and zucchini. I use the mushrooms as end caps and ensure the other veggies are similar in size for even cooking.

Grill until desired doneness, season vegetables with sea salt and done. I like to serve with a side of extra bbq sauce for dipping.

The possibilities are endless with this little bbq marinade. I use it in various ways. My kids don't even notice it's sugar free. Win, win for this mom.

Happy grilling friends. Enjoy!
