2 large white onions, sliced
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter
1 14 oz can beef broth
3-4 chicken breasts, pounded
2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
3-4 slices deli-style provolone cheese (depending on how many chicken breasts)
3-4 slices deli-style swiss cheese (depending on how many chicken breasts)
parsley, for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees,
1. Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and stir while cooking, for about 15 minutes until softened; Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. Season chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Cook chicken in skillet for about 5 minutes on each side. Move chicken to a plate and cover with a paper towel.
3. Return onions to skillet and sprinkle with flour. Stir and cook for about 1 minute before pouring in beef broth. Whisk until thickened; Add chicken back to skillet and spoon sauce over the chicken.
4. Top with one slice of provolone and one slice of swiss for each breast.
5. Move to a 350 degree oven and bake until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes
6. Remove from oven and spoon more of the sauce over the chicken. Top with parsley and serve hot.
(Cook’s note: This is excellent! The breasts were really big after pounding them, so I cut them in half. 4 large breasts pounded, turned into 8 healthy servings. I didn’t pan fry quite as long [1minute less], nor did I put it in the oven to cook as long as called for [cooked only about 6 min]. I added 1 more onion, and also more salt, pepper and thyme. Definitely a keeper. Enjoy!)
