Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Onion Sauce
  • 2 large yellow onions sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water
For Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Making the Onion Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine and Serve
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
