French Onion Chicken Bake

Print Recipe

A comforting bake featuring tender chicken breasts layered with caramelized onions and topped with melted Gruyère cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 large onions (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups Gruyère cheese (grated)

Instructions

  1. Peel the onions, cut them in half, and slice them into thin half-moons. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and melt the butter until bubbling and foamy.
  2. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir occasionally for about 15-20 minutes until they begin to turn a beautiful golden brown.
  3. Stir in the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until the liquid has reduced slightly. Remove from heat.
  4. Mix in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  6. Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with butter or olive oil. Spread half of the caramelized onions on the bottom of the dish. Arrange the chicken breasts evenly over the onions and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Top the chicken with the remaining caramelized onions, and then generously sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  8. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can last up to 3-4 days in the fridge. You can assemble it a day in advance, let flavors mingle, and bake straight from the fridge.
