Description

This French Onion Chicken recipe pairs tender pan-fried chicken breasts with jammy caramelized onions and lots of melty gruyere. So good!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half longwise
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large sweet onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
  • 1 tablespoon worchestshire
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 cup beef bone broth
  • 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Instructions

  1. Season both sides chicken breast with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat.
  3. Add butter to the pan along with chicken breast.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through and browned.
  5. Remove chicken from the pan.
  6. Add olive oil and onions to the pan.
  7. Reduce heat to medium. Saute for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should be browned, reduced by more than half and there should be no liquid left in the pan – just browned caramelized goodness.
  8. Now, add your garlic, flour, garlic powder and thyme to the pan. Stir to combine and saute for 1 minute.
  9. Next, add in your worchestshire sauce, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard and beef bone broth. Stir to combine everything and let simmer until the liquid has absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.
  10. Add the chicken back to the pan and top each chicken with 1/4 cup of shredded gruyere cheese. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted. Serve.
