Cook Time

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts

• Salt, to taste

• Pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon dried parsley

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

• 1 cup beef stock

• 2 cups gruyère cheese, shredded

• Bread, sliced and toasted, to serve

Directions

1. In a bowl, add the chicken, salt, pepper, garlic, dried parsley, and olive oil, and toss until evenly coated.

Sear Chicken

2. Add the chicken to a skillet on medium-high heat. Sear until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side of the chicken, 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Preheat Oven

3. Preheat oven to broil.

Caramelize Onions

4. Add the butter, sliced onions, salt, and pepper to the same pan, stirring occasionally until softened. Reduce heat to low and cook until they are deeply caramelized, about 1.5 hours (can switch to medium low towards the end if it’s taking awhile).

Simmer Mixture

5. Add thyme and beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add Chicken

6. Add the chicken on top of the onions, and sprinkle with Gruyère cheese.

Broil Chicken

7. Broil for 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Serve

8. Serve over bread.
