I hardly know how to describe this chicken. All I can say is if Jesus came to dinner, this is what I’d serve. It’s that good.

And… you’re actually getting your vegetables with this dish so it’s a fast and easy dinner!

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 25 minutes   Cook Time: 25 minutes  

Ingredients

Marinade:
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce
2 tsp mustard – grainy or dijon
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 minced garlic cloves
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
Juice of one lemon
Juice of one lime
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
4 slices gouda cheese (or swiss)
2 large onions
2-3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 small avocados
2 medium tomatos
green onion stems

Directions

Mix marinade and soak your chicken in this for several hours in the frig.
First step: Thinly slice 2 large onions and cook on low to med. Low heat in about 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil. Continue cooking until golden brown and carmelized. Don’t even think of fixing this dish without this. This step will take every bit of 15 minutes or a little more.
Get a gas grill heating on high then reduce to medium high. Cook chicken for 5 min each side. Only 5 minutes, it will cook through and still be juicy. The last minute or so, place a folded over slice of Gouda cheese so it melts. Chicken is now done.
Chop up fresh tomato and ripe avocado into ½ inch chunks. Dice up a few rounds of green onion stems. Serve each breast topped with carmelized onions, chopped tomato,avocado and a sprinkle of green onions.
Sit back and enjoy the moans and groans of ecstasy over your culinary masterpiece.
