Ingredients
- 2/3 cup low sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ½ cups caramelized onions
- 1/2 cup Swiss or gruyere cheese , shredded
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese , shredded
- ½ cup garlic croutons , coarsely crumbled
- Minced thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a liquid measuring cup or mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, vinegar, thyme, garlic pepper and salt. Set aside.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts on all sides until browned. They will not be cooked the whole way through.
- Pour the beef broth mixture over the chicken, heating until at a low simmer.
- Top with the caramelized onions and sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the chicken registers at 160°F.
- Remove and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes (carry-over cooking will bring it up to 165°F).
