5. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice sear.
6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the sliced chicken topped with the caramelized onions and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
