Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Grill Pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • ½ yellow onion sliced thinly
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • 1 cup of red grape tomatoes
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced

Serving:

  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp of feta cheese to taste

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and lightly caramelized, about 20 minutes. Season with sea salt to taste.  
  • In a large grill pan, heat the other tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and season the chicken breasts with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip over.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from the skillet to a cutting board. 
  • Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing so it stays nice and juicy. Slice into thin strips at an angle.
  • In the same large skillet as the onions, add the grape tomatoes, season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are ready to burst. Add the caramelized onions and minced garlic, stirring frequently for 60 seconds.
  • Pour the tomatoes and onions over the sliced chicken, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
  • Top with feta cheese and fresh basil. Enjoy!
