Greek Chicken




6 chicken breasts
Mediterranean Seasoning (Spice Island or other)
7 (or so) onions 1/4 inch slice
3 tbsp butter 
8 oz (or so) feta cheese

Melt butter in pan on stovetop. Add onions and cook down over medium-high heat. Cook until browned and sweet. Remove from pan to a dish and add feta cheese to taste.

While onions are cooking sprinkle seasonings on both sides of chicken and grill.

Serve a generous amount of onion and feta mixture over chicken and enjoy! Seriously this is delicious!
