Recipe for Barbecued chicken strips with sauteed onions

After thawing some chicken for dinner and taking inventory of the 'fridge to weigh my options for how I would have the chicken, I devised the following recipe:

Ingredients:

Two medium sized chicken breasts, cut into 3/4 inch wide strips
4 flour burrito shells
1/3 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
One medium sized onion
Two tbsp butter

Preheat grill on high
Marinate the chicken strips in barbecue sauce for 15 minutes while preparing onions;

Cut the onion into strips or wedges (cut from top to bottom). Place cut onions into shallow pan with butter and sautee over medium heat until tender and slightly carmelized. Browning them isn't the worst thing to do and gives more flavor.

Put the chicken on the grill and cook until done. (internal temperature is 165 degrees)

Move the chicken off of the grill and place burrito shells on the grill and lightly toast.

Place grilled chicken in burrito shell, folded like a taco and top with onions. Enjoy.
