Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 pieces large onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons allspice
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, oregano, thyme, and allspice. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that all pieces are well coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the onions by slicing them into 1/2-inch-thick rings.
Once the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
During the last 10 minutes of grilling the chicken, place the onion rings on the grill. Cook them until they are tender and have nice grill marks, about 5 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken and onions from the grill.
Serve the grilled chicken topped with the grilled onions and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Enjoy your Low Sodium Grilled Chicken with Onions, a flavorful and healthy meal!
