French Onion Chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines the classic taste of French onion soup with tender chicken breasts. Here’s how you can prepare it:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized and browned.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine. Add the thyme leaves and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the onion mixture over the chicken.
- Bake the chicken for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese over the top.
- Return the chicken to the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish the dish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
