Have you ever noticed that there aren't very many healthy or clean BBQ recipes? I went to my local Wal-Mart today to find ( because surely WALMART had one) a low sugar, low carb, low calorie BBQ sauce- because, well,-BBQ sounded pretty darn yummy to me at the time. Boy was I disappointed! I didn't find a single sauce that fit the bill to a T. The one that I ended up going with is actually made right here in my hometown so kudos to local business, Head Country BBQ! Of all the sauces that I looked at (and I looked at several) their sauce had the least amount of sugar (5g per 2 tbsp-compared to 15g per 2 tbsp in some) and the least amount of carbohydrates. So next time your buying BBQ sauce, kindly turn the bottle over and LOOK at the label. Remember, start at the serving size (2 tbsp!) and then continue. 15g of sugar in 2 tbsp of BBQ sauce is more than what 2 Back to Nature chocolate chip COOKIES contain! But here I was with an itch I just had to scratch, BBQ sauce in hand-off I went, and here's what came of it:
BBQ Chicken Sandwich!!
It was YUMMY!! Very satisfying way to enjoy BBQ without the guilt.. and that's what we're all about over here.. :)
Here's what you'll need:
- 3-4 oz. diced cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 tbsp (one individual packet) head country original BBQ sauce
- 1 tbsp heinz reduced sugar ketchup
- 1 tsp chili powder
- other spices to taste
- 1/8 cup chopped onion, optional
- 2 slices tomato cut up, optional
- spicy brown mustard, optional
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined
- cook on a well sprayed skillet over medium heat until all is heated through
- serve on a toasted whole wheat bun or open faced ezekiel bread!
Enjoy some good ol' clean southern BBQ!
