Ingredients
- 4 Sliced Onions peeled
- 4 tbsp of Unsalted Butter
- 4 Garlic Cloves finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp of Black Pepper
- 1 tsp of Fresh Thyme
- 2/3 cup of Beef Broth low sodium
- 2 tbsp of Aged Balsamic Vinegar
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 tsp of Sea Salt
- 1 cup of Shredded Mozzarella
- 1/2 cup of Grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Crank up your oven to 400°F and mist a baking dish with a cooking spray.
- Sauté the Onions: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium to high heat. Add your sliced onions, sautéing for approximately 5 minutes; stir them now and then.
- Infuse Flavors: Lower the skillet heat to medium and toss in garlic, pepper, and thyme. Stir and cook for an additional minute.
- Turn Onions into Jam: Pour in the beef broth along with the balsamic vinegar. Continue cooking until the onions adopt a jammy texture, around 10 minutes.
- Assemble the Dish: Lay a third of your caramelized onions into the prepped baking dish. Situate the chicken breasts on top and season with a sprinkling of salt.
- Cheese It Up: Pile on the remaining caramelized onions over the chicken and smother with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake to Perfection: Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
For uniformly cooked chicken, ensure all breasts are roughly the same size. If they're too thick, halve them diagonally.
