Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 pieces Large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by marinating the chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the onions. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill.

Step 8

Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked with a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

Slice the grilled chicken and serve it topped with the caramelized onions.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
