Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat.

Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear.

Alternatively, bake chicken in oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and cooked through.

In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.

Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in almonds and raisins, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Serve chicken topped with sautéed onion mixture and fresh cilantro.
