Description
A simple baked chicken dish featuring the savory, cheesy flavors of French Onion Soup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or Provolone)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook slowly for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized.
- Stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper with the onions.
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish or leave them in the oven-safe skillet.
- Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the chicken.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade beef broth instead of store-bought.
- If you do not have Gruyère, Swiss or Provolone cheese works well.
- You can sear the chicken in the skillet before adding the liquid for extra browning.
