Remove any excess fat from the chicken breasts and flatten them slightly using a meat mallet for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon juice.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they're fully coated. Set aside for at least 15 minutes to marinate.
While the chicken is marinating, peel and thinly slice the onions.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and let them rest.
In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.
Chop the fresh parsley finely.
To serve, place the grilled chicken on a plate and top with the caramelized onions and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful keto-friendly dish!
