Grilled Chicken with Sweet Onions -
While the chicken is hanging out, slice two yellow onions.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and add onions once skillet is hot. Add about 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt and 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper to the onions and combine.
Add 1-1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons orange marmalade to the onions and blend.
Add about 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and another pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper to the onions, cover and lower heat to medium-low and let the onions cook down and get sweet.
Heat a grill pan (or you can use the outdoor grill) to medium-high, coat the grill pan with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking. Once grill pan is heated, add chicken. Let the chicken cook for about 5 minutes before turning.
Continue cooking chicken until cooked completely through and golden brown. Check on the onions and stir occasionally. You will notice the onions are cooking down and becoming slightly thick with a syrup. Added bonus - heavenly aroma!
Plate the chicken and garish with chopped flat leaf parsley.
Serve the chicken with a heaping spoonful of he sweet onions. The combination of the sweet and savory will make you feel like there's a party going on in your mouth.
It's Wednesday...it's August and very hot...time to shake things up a bit!

Oh yum! This looks delish!
I love those sweet onions, they just don't love me. I had some last night and I am in pain right now. I keep eating them though. :)
As always you're making my mouth water! YUM!
I sure wish it would cool down though. I'm anti-cooking when it's this hot.
Oh lordy, lordy does this sound terrific. How clever to add the marmalade to this! I'm so impressed with that idea! I've just GOT to try this. YUM!
I love the idea of orange marmalade in the onions. I have half a jar in the fridge and I"m doing this!
Chicken, onions - how can you go wrong? Another one I'll have to get Theresa to try.
What a great grilled chicken recipe! I'll have to break out my grill pan and get grilling, it really looks terrific!
Your girls are lucky to have such a good cook as their mother! This looks delicious.
I love those onions! They sound so good over the chicken!
