A simple, low carb vegetable and chicken dish, this Easy Vegetable Baked BBQ Chicken is a satisfying, delicious answer to "what's for dinner?" It's also gluten-free, dairy-free and can easily be made paleo.
1/2 - 1bottle of your favorite bbq sauce (I used a sweet & smoky gluten-free BBQ sauce; if paleo, make sure it's paleo-friendly)
1/2large onion, chopped
1/2large green bell pepper, chopped
12cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2Tbspbalsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
shredded "cheese" (I used Daiya mozzarella shreds)(omit if eating paleo)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Put chicken in a baking dish; cover with BBQ sauce and then cover with aluminum foil; bake 40 minutes covered and then another 5 minutes uncovered
While chicken is baking, prep vegetables
About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, saute the onion and green pepper until soft and the edges of some of the onions are just slightly charred
Add tomatoes and stir; add salt and pepper to taste
A few minutes before the chicken is done, drizzle in the balsamic vinegar and stir
Plate the chicken, drizzle BBQ sauce on top (as much or as little as you prefer ... I like a lot) and then top with vegetables and then (if you want) add cheese or dairy-free "cheese shreds" and eat!
