Step 1
Slice the 2 onions thinly. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
While onions cook, season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Push onions to one side of the skillet, place chicken in the center, and cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until chicken is cooked through (no pink inside), about 5-7 minutes. Stir onions occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 4
Stir the 2 tbsp chopped parsley into the onions. Serve the chicken topped with the caramelized onion mixture and any pan juices.
