Description
A delicious and hearty French Onion Chicken Bake that combines tender chicken breasts with caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, and a flavorful broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup French onion dip
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional minute.
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, place the chicken breasts in a single layer.
- Pour the beef broth over the chicken, then spread the caramelized onion mixture on top.
- Spoon the French onion dip evenly over the onions, then sprinkle with shredded Swiss cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the beef broth and garlic powder for a few hours before cooking.
- You can substitute the Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella for a different taste.
- For a lower-carb option, serve the dish over steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice instead of traditional sides.
