French Onion Chicken
by LAUREN MIYASHIRO
Tastes Just Like The Soup
We love that this recipe comes together in one skillet and in less than an hour, meaning it's WAY faster than French Onion Soup. Dunking good bread into the extra pan sauce is highly encouraged.
YIELDS: 4
PREP TIME: 10 MINS
TOTAL TIME: 45 MINS
INGREDIENTS
3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 3/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. low-sodium beef broth
1 c. shredded Gruyère
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Add onions and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until onions are caramelized and jammy, about 25 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and remove onion mixture. Wipe skillet clean.
In a large bowl, season chicken with salt, pepper and oregano, then toss with flour. Heat remaining oil in the same skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden on all sides and mostly cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Add beef broth and return cooked onions to skillet. Bring mixture to a boil, then then educe heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through and beef broth reduces slightly, about 10 more minutes.
Add Gruyère and cover skillet with a lid. Cook until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
