Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional minute.
  5. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, place the chicken breasts in a single layer.
  6. Pour the beef broth over the chicken, then spread the caramelized onion mixture on top.
  7. Spoon the French onion dip evenly over the onions, then sprinkle with shredded Swiss cheese and breadcrumbs.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
