    Chicken by itself has zero carbs. So if you can avoid all sides you are golden.

    Braise chicken breast in stock and cube it.

    Marinate the breast in soy sauce and a little pepper then BBQ it or bake it.

    KFC makes a seasonal low carb burger that is two chicken breasts used as the “bun”, surrounding bacon and cheese.

    Don't eat the fried batter.

    I like to grill a boneless chicken breast and the top it with grated cheddar, picante sauce, and either a dollop of guacamole or sour cream. It’s quite delicious and satisfying. Very low carb!

    I love this chicken, tomato and artichoke bake from Budget Bytes. Make sure to use the fire roasted tomatoes. I usually make it with quinoa, but that adds carbs. I am sure it would be quite fine on its own.

    Stuff with cheese and fresh basil, wrap in Parma ham. Serve with roast veg, i like mushrooms and asparagus.

    Baked skinless chicken (just garlic and pepper) with a side of veggies. So good and healthy

    Hasselback chicken - cut a whole boneless/skinless breast vertically, but not all the way through, stuff it between slices, bake it.

    Ricotta cheese, Parmesan, garlic, sauteed spinach - top with some extra Parm or shredded cheese. You can add some lower-sugar tomato sauce, and it starts to taste get a lasagna flavor.

    Cheddar and broccoli (thin-sliced ham if you want to get crazy)

    Poblano (or jalapeno) pepper, pepper jack or cream cheese, season with some chili powder and cumin, top with salsa when it's done

    Also, pan-seared, skin-on thighs are great. It's hard to beat crispy skin.
