Ingredients

    6 Tbsp lemon juice
    2 Tbsp + 2 tsp olive oil
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    2 Tbsp dried oregano
    2 tsp dried mint (optional)
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp black pepper
    2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
    4 cups thickly sliced onions

Directions

1. Combine everything except chicken and onions in a shallow bowl.
2. Add the chicken & onions & toss to coat.
3. Cover & marinate in the fridge at least 4 hours, or overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 450 & fire up the grill*. Place chicken, onions, and marinade in 13x9 pan, cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
5. Place onions on the grill sealed in a foil packet. Grill chicken directly on the grill, turning 2-3 times, basting with remaining.
*To broil instead of grilling: After initial baking, place chicken and onions on a broiler rack and broil 4-5 inches from heat until chicken is cooked through and onions are golden, 10-15 minutes.
Serving: one four oz breast plus 1/2 cup onions.

    Was a complete hit with my picky family!!! Chicken was moist and not pink at all. Onions were very flavorful. I used some garlic oilve oil instead and added red onions...but other than that I followed the recipe to the "T"!!! - 9/6/09
