Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken cutlets or 2 chicken breasts cut horizontally
- 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 small yellow onion diced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to broil (500°F) and set the rack 6 inches below the broiler.
