French Onion Chicken
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp butter, unsalted
- 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- parsley or thyme, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lay chicken out on a clean surface. Cover chicken with plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a large, oven-proof pan, over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Saute each side of the chicken breasts 3-4 minutes until browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same pan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onions and saute for 15 minutes until caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions, continue to saute for 2 more minutes. Add beef broth, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Add the chicken back to the pan and spoon the onion broth over the chicken. Place into oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, place 2 slices of cheese over each chicken, and place back into the oven for the cheese to melt. Bake for 10 more minutes.
- Spoon onion broth over the chicken. Garnish with parsley or thyme.
Notes
If you do not have an oven-safe pan, you may use an oven-safe baking pan instead. Follow the recipe and assemble sauteed onions then chicken in the casserole dish. Then, follow the baking directions.
