Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Onion Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts Choose boneless, skinless for ease of cooking.
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Adds richness and helps with browning.
  • 1 tsp salt Essential for enhancing all the flavors.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper A little spice goes a long way.

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the chicken cooks evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub those spices in for maximum flavor!
  5. Step 5: In a baking dish, place the seasoned chicken breasts and top with the cooked onion and garlic mixture.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Step 7: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
