Recipe Information
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
- Cooking spray
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve the grilled chicken topped with a generous portion of caramelized onions for a delicious, low-fat meal.
