Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more pronounced flavor.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, cut the onion into thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick, keeping the rings together as much as possible.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the chicken and onions from sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them onto the preheated grill. Discard the remaining marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
Step 6
Add the onion slices to the grill alongside the chicken. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring the juices run clear.
Step 7
Flip the onions halfway through the cooking time and grill until nicely charred and tender, approximately 8-10 minutes total.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken and onions from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Arrange the grilled chicken and onions on a serving plate and enjoy your flavorful low fat meal.
