Ingredients
·
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced into rings
·
3 tablespoons butter
·
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons beef broth, divided
·
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
·
1 tablespoon oil
·
salt and pepper to taste
·
1 teaspoon Italian blend herbs/Italian seasoning (OR 1/4 teaspoon dried basil + 1/4 teaspoon
dried thyme + 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)
·
2 tablespoons flour
·
4 slices provolone cheese
·
4 slices swiss cheese
·
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
·
fresh thyme or parsley and cracked black pepper for topping (optional)
Instructions
1.
Preheat oven to bake at 400 degrees OR broil
on low. In a large oven-safe skillet (see note) over medium-high heat, melt
butter. Add onions and 3 tablespoons beef broth and saute onions for 3-4
minutes until translucent. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally so the
onions don't burn, for about 15 minutes longer until browned and very tender.
Use tongs or a fork to transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
2.
While onions are cooking, prepare the chicken
by drizzling with oil, then seasoning with salt and pepper (to taste) and
Italian herbs. Once onions have finished cooking and are removed from the pan,
cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side (don't clean out the pan between the
onions and chicken) until browned on both sides. (Chicken may not be fully cooked
through yet, that is okay).
3.
Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep
warm and return the onions to the pan. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir
for 1 minute over medium-high heat. Add beef broth and continue to cook,
stirring throughout, until mixture comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper
to taste. Return chicken to pan and spoon some of the sauce over each piece of
chicken.
4.
Top chicken with one slice of provolone each,
then one slice of swiss, then 1/4 of the parmesan cheese. Transfer skillet to
your preheated oven and cook for about 10 minutes until chicken is cooked
through completely and cheeses are melted.
5.
Spoon some of the onions and gravy over the
top of the chicken, garnish with thyme or parsley and cracked black pepper, and
serve.
