Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped
• ½ cup salted butter
• ½ teaspoon ground paprika

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Step 2

Combine butter, vegetable oil, onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, paprika, and ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter is completely melted, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Place chicken in a baking dish and baste with the butter sauce.

Step 4

Broil in the preheated oven, basting and turning every 10 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
