Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 large Onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic from 2 cloves, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensuring each piece is coated, let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the onions.
Step 3
Slice the onions into thin rounds.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are soft and caramelized, approximately 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
While the onions are cooking, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill grates. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is well-browned.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a platter and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Top each grilled chicken breast with a generous portion of caramelized onions and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low-carb meal!
