Anything that necessitates cleaning the knife, cutting board, and skillet is not lazy. Especially because in order to wash those things the sink has to be empty which means the dishes have to be done. That's a lot of pre and post reqs for "lazy".

Not that any of that is particularly hard. A meal with a chopped onion can certainly be fast and easy, but I couldn't argue that it's lazy.

If you're cooking for one person or two, it absolutely is lazy, unless the kitchen is a mess beforehand. But given that it's not, washing the knife and cutting board quickly right after you put the onions in the pan takes like 10 seconds, and it's time you would be standing there waiting anyway. You're not spending any extra time or doing almost any extra effort. And chopping itself will take you like a minute or two if you're going slow.
