Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Large onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, prepare the onions. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
Once caramelized, stir in the balsamic vinegar with the onions, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
Top the grilled chicken with the caramelized onions, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot, and enjoy your flavorful soy-free grilled chicken with onions!
