Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add BBQ Sauce and Cheese

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated. Sprinkle the caramelized onions on top, then add the mozzarella cheese.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Slice the chicken and serve warm.
