In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp dried oregano. Add the chicken and tofu, tossing to coat, and marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken and tofu from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tofu is golden brown.

Meanwhile, caramelize the onion by heating 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes or until deep golden brown.
