French Onion Chicken

Ingredients

• 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. 1

   Season both sides chicken breast with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet to medium high heat.

3. 3

   Add butter to the pan along with chicken breast.

4. 4

   Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through and browned.

5. 5

   Remove chicken from the pan.

6. 6

   Add olive oil and onions to the pan.

7. 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. 8

   Now, add your garlic, flour, garlic powder and thyme to the pan. Stir to combine and saute for 1 minute.

9. 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.
