Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large red onions
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, finely chopped fresh rosemary, ground black pepper, kosher salt, and smoked paprika.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for better flavor infusion.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the onions. Peel and slice the large red onions into thick rings about 1/2 inch thick, keeping rings intact for even grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off.
Place the chicken and onion rings on the grill. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Turn the onion rings occasionally to prevent burning and to ensure they grill evenly, cooking for about 6-8 minutes or until they become tender and have nice grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the chicken and onions from the grill. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, topped with the sweet grilled onions. Enjoy this delicious and nutritious Whole30 meal with your favorite compliant side dish.
