Instructions


0 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.
1 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.
2 Grill Option: When the onions are caramelized, turn the grill on. Grill the chicken until cooked-through and then let rest for 5 minutes.
3 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.
4 To plate, spoon an equal amount of caramelized onions on top of each chicken breast and garnish with the fresh cilantro.
