Cut each chicken breast into 3 strips; then salt the strips. Set aside. In a large glass bowl, mix chopped onion, olive oil, and lemon juice until blended. Add chicken strips and stir to coat the strips. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours. Stir strips once or twice while being
marinated. Remove marinated chicken strips from refrigerator and uncover about 15 minutes before cooking. Grill in a spray-greased grill skillet over medium heat while shaking and turning strips often until the chicken strips are just done. Use a meat thermometer to prevent
undercooking or overcooking. Serves 3 to 4.
The marinade is very simple yet delivers outstanding flavor. If you want to make a full meal of it, use dinner plates with a bed of hot pasta or hot rice; then a small amount of lightly dressed spinach salad, topped off with the grilled chicken strips and a dollop of pasta or
rice. Bueno!
