Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
3-4 chicken breasts, pounded
2 large white onions, sliced
1 14-ounces can beef broth
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) salted butter
3-4 slices deli-style Swiss cheese (depending on how many chicken breasts)
3-4 slices deli-style provolone cheese (depending on how many chicken breasts)
parsley, for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
How to make French Onion Chicken
Step 1: In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onions to the skillet and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring until soft. Set aside when done.
Step 2: Using olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme, season the chicken breasts. In the now-empty skillet, cook the chicken for about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate when done and tent using a paper towel.
Step 3: To the skillet, place the chicken back and sprinkle with flour. Mix and cook for about a minute. Pour in the beef broth, then stir until thickened. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over.
Step 4: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.
Step 5: Top the chicken with a slice of provolone and Swiss. Place in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the chicken is completely cooked.
Step 6: After removing the chicken from the oven, spoon the sauce over and garnish with some parsley. Serve the chicken right away. Enjoy!
