Categories: Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 2 pounds yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed pot and add the chopped onions and sea salt. Stir to combine, place a lid on top, turn the heat to medium/low, and let cook until caramelized for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

2. Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl and cover in the BBQ sauce. Toss to combine and set aside to marinate while the onions cook.

3. Grill Option: When the onions are caramelized, turn the grill on. Grill the chicken until cooked-through and then let rest for 5 minutes.

4. Oven Option: When the onions are caramelized, turn the oven to 400 F. Place the chicken breast on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400 F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through.

5. To plate, spoon an equal amount of caramelized onions on top of each chicken breast and garnish with the fresh cilantro.
