Grilled Chicken and Green Onions Fajitas

Easy, simple and so delicious!  Everything about this is fresh, light and kind of summerish.  I love the grilling of the onions, as it gives them such a distinct and delicious taste.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Marinade:
-1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
-2 Tbs lemon juice
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp chili powder
-1 tsp ground cumin
-2 tsp dried parsley leaves
Fajitas:
-2 chicken breasts, skinless, boneless, cut in half
-1 bunch (5.5 oz) green onions, cleaned
-8 fajita-size flour tortillas
Toppings:
-tomatoes, chopped
-shredded cheddar cheese
-sour cream
Directions:
Combine marinade ingredients in a ziplok bag.  Add chicken breast halves and coat evenly.  Place bag in the fridge for 1-2 hours, flipping it on the other side every 30 minutes-this will get that marinade all over the chicken and infuse it with all those wonderful flavors.
When ready to enjoy your fajitas, coat your grill with some olive oil flavored cooking spray.  Turn the grill on.  When ready, add the green onions and grill for 15-20 seconds on each side.  Remove onto plate and slice into 1 inch pieces.  Set aside.
Add the chicken to the grill and cook until done (about 8-10  minutes per side).  Remove onto plate and let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut into chunks.
Meanwhile, grill the tortillas for 10-15 seconds per side.
Place chicken and onions on tortillas and serve with the toppings.  Enjoy!
