French Onion Chicken Recipe
This French Onion Chicken recipe combines tender chicken and rich, caramelized onions topped with melted cheese, creating a comforting and delicious meal perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 3-4 pieces Chicken breasts, pounded
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 large White onions, sliced
- ¼ cup Salted butter
- 1 14 oz can Beef broth
- 1 ½ tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3-4 slices Deli-style provolone cheese
- 3-4 slices Deli-style swiss cheese
- Parsley Chopped
Instructions
- Melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and stir well. Cook for about 15 minutes until the onions soften and turn golden brown. Remove the onions and set them aside.
- Season the pounded chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Return the cooked onions to the skillet and sprinkle with flour. Stir to coat the onions and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the chicken back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Top each chicken breast with one slice of provolone and one slice of swiss cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, spoon more sauce over the chicken, and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for vibrant flavor, brown the chicken well to lock in juices, and ensure quality cheese for the best melt.
- Let the chicken rest after baking for moist results.
