Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces large onions
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
Slice the onions into thick rings while the chicken is marinating.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Once heated, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, heat a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil, and sauté the onion rings until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Add balsamic vinegar to the onions and stir well, cooking for another 2 minutes until the onions are well-coated and glossy.
Remove the grilled chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, topped with the balsamic caramelized onions.
