I can confirm Teriaki (specifically this brand, Kikkoman) was part of the marinade. There were no sliced onions though. The onions and peppers were cut up together in big bags and just chilled in the cooler together until it was time to fire them on the griddle with a squirt of oil. The Chicken itself was in a marinade of teriaki and garlic powder but I forget the rest, there MAY have been a dash of liquid smoke or mesquite flavor. we DEFINITELY used mesquite firewood in our grill. There was also a final component which we just called "chicken grill seasoning" or 'chick dust' for short (restaurant cooks abbreviate everything, guacamole is guac, a plate of rice and beans is "hot set" and a plate of lettuce, cheese, pico, and sour cream is "cold set"... you get the picture. But I remember the chicken dust was KEY to the flavor. I dont for the life of me recall what it was, came in huge gallon jars and was a thin fine white powder. I imagine it was brown sugar, mesquite seasoning and had a savory sweet flavor. We took the chicken (at first it was tenderloin and the breasts were just for the Pollo Parilla dish, then they moved to whole breasts for both dishes (fajitas and the parilla pollo (literally means "grilled chicken" in Spanish, very creative Don Pablos)... But yeah, anyhow, we took the chicken out of the marinade and threw it on the mesquite grill to cook, then sprinkled it with chicken dust and when it was time for a fajita to be made, we took the freshly cooked chicken, whacked it with a kitchen knife a few times, and threw it on the skillet with onions and peppers and sent it to the waiters across a steel table on a wooden trivet. Pretty simple. We also put a small ladle of oil and a sprinkle of water on the skillet right before sending. They were SCREAMING hot skillets that sat on a flame all day. Thats how they make them smoke on the way to the table, just oil and water around the edge after the onions/peppers and chicken were placed on the skillet. It had to arrive at the table steaming or the guest could ask for it to be free initially. But as the company failed they stopped that whole mess. Shame, that place was AMAZING when I started, everything made from scratch. A year before my unit closed its doors forever, everything was frozen or coming from bags except the chicken, guac, and salsa... Shame... Cook fresh if you own a restaurant. People can buy frozen shit from the grocery store. Hope this helps. If someone knows what the chicken grill seasoning was, Ill PAY YOU for the recipe, that stuff was clutch to getting the flavor right and that chicken that went on the fajitas and quesadillas is still the best chicken Ive ever had in my life.

The only variation I made to the recipe is that I added 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and cut the chicken into strips before placing in the marinade.
