Description
A savory and delicious French Onion Baked Chicken recipe that combines tender chicken breasts with caramelized onions and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Place them in a baking dish.
- Pour the beef broth over the chicken breasts. Top each chicken breast with the caramelized onions, then sprinkle the Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
- You can substitute the Swiss cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella for a different taste.
