Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half longwise
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large sweet onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
- 1 tablespoon worchestshire
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 cup beef bone broth
- 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
Instructions
- Season both sides chicken breast with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat.
- Add butter to the pan along with chicken breast.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through and browned.
- Remove chicken from the pan.
- Add olive oil and onions to the pan.
- Reduce heat to medium. Saute for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should be browned, reduced by more than half and there should be no liquid left in the pan – just browned caramelized goodness.
- Now, add your garlic, flour, garlic powder and thyme to the pan. Stir to combine and saute for 1 minute.
- Next, add in your worchestshire sauce, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard and beef bone broth. Stir to combine everything and let simmer until the liquid has absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and top each chicken with 1/4 cup of shredded gruyere cheese. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted. Serve.
