Directions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Take a large baking sheet, add your chicken, garlic, and salt and pepper. Mix this well and coat evenly on both sides.
3. Cover your sheet and place in the oven to bake for 25 minutes. Remove when chicken is cooked.
4. While this cooks, preheat a large skillet on low-medium heat and add in your olive oil. Next, add your onion and sauté this for five minutes.
