Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 large Onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic from 2 cloves, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensuring each piece is coated, let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the onions.
Slice the onions into thin rounds.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are soft and caramelized, approximately 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the onions are cooking, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill grates. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is well-browned.
Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a platter and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Top each grilled chicken breast with a generous portion of caramelized onions and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low-carb meal!
