  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Caramelize Onions: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add onions, garlic, sugar, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden and soft, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Deglaze: Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Add beef broth and bring to a simmer.
  5. Combine and Bake: Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the onions. Top with shredded Gruyère cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving.
