Check chicken if it is just slightly pink remove it to a serving platter and cover with foil. You don't want to overcook the chicken. The carryover heat will continue to cook the chicken. Turn heat up and reduce sauce to a pancake syrup consistency. If there are onions left behind don't worry leave them in the sauce.
When sauce is reduced pour sauce over chicken and serve.
