Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 medium Onions
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts and patting them dry with a paper towel. Lightly coat the chicken with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the onions.
Step 2
Peel and slice the onions thinly. In a large skillet, spray a light coat of cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the sliced onions to the skillet.
Step 3
Stir the onions occasionally until they begin to soften and turn golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. If the skillet becomes dry, add a tablespoon of water to help cook the onions without burning.
Step 4
Once the onions are softened and golden, add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Stir well to coat the onions evenly. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized and the liquid has evaporated.
Step 5
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken breasts on the grill and sprinkle with the garlic powder.
Step 6
Grill the chicken for about 5–6 minutes on each side, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 7
Serve the grilled chicken topped with a generous portion of caramelized onions for a delicious, low-fat meal.
