Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 large yellow onions
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, peel the onions and slice them into thick rings, about half an inch thick.
Step 5
Brush the onion slices with a small amount of olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Once the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
Step 7
At the same time, place the onion rings on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are soft and have nice grill marks.
Step 8
Remove the chicken and onions from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled chicken with the onion rings on the side. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly meal!
