Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 large onions (yellow or white)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps achieve a good sear.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. This will be your marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure they are well coated in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings.

Step 5

Pre-heat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly oil the grates or pan.

Step 6

Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 7

While the chicken is grilling, add the onion slices to the grill. Cook them alongside the chicken, flipping occasionally, until they are tender and caramelized, which should take about 10-12 minutes.

Step 8

Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, keeping it moist.

Step 9

Transfer the caramelized onions to a serving platter, place the grilled chicken on top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free grilled chicken with onions!
