Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 baking pan lightly with oil (or use an ungreased cast iron pan). Place the chicken in the pan.
- Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a tiny bowl. Season the chicken by pinching the spice mixture between your fingers and sprinkling it evenly on each piece of chicken.
- Place 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce on each breast and spread the sauce over the chicken with the back of your spoon.
- Shred the mozzarella if needed. Sprinkle about 2 1/2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella over the entire surface of each breast, using all of the cheese.
- If starting with a whole red onion, peel it and cut it in half. Start making thin slices and place 5 or six slices of onion on each chicken breast. (You'll use about 1/3 of a whole onion.)
- Bake the chicken for 25 minutes, uncovered. Check to see if it's done by using an intstant meat thermometer to see if it has reached 165 degrees F. If you don't have a thermometer, cut open a thick piece to make sure it's no longer pink inside. If needed, bake for another five minutes before checking it again. Don't overbake, or the chicken will be dry.
- Let the chicken rest on the stove, covered loosely with foil, for a few minutes before cutting into it. This will keep it juicy. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days. This also freezes well.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Marinate the chicken breasts: Marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to flavor and tenderize them.
- Use a baking dish that is large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer: This will help them to cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: If the chicken breasts are too close together, they will not cook evenly.
- Bake the chicken breasts at a high temperature: This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts: They are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken breasts rest before serving: This will help them to retain their juices.
