Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 teaspoon dried Herbs de Provence or Italian Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 large onions sliced into rings, 1⁄4-inch thick
- 4 garlic cloves pressed or minced
For the sauce:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons flour GF if needed
- 1 cup grated gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Rub the chicken with salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence, then dredge into the flour to coat all sides.
- Heat half of the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sear the chicken breast for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden. Set aside on a plate.
- To the same heated skillet add the remaining oil. Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized into a browned color. Over the last minute or so, stir in the garlic.
- Once the onions are caramelized, add the chicken broth and deglaze the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the coconut aminos with the flour until there are no visible lumps.
- Once the sauce bubbles, stir in the amino-flour mixture. Allow the sauce to cook for 3-4 minutes, or until it starts to thicken.
- Return the chicken to the pan and spoon over the sauce. Top with grated cheese and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese on top is melted. Garnish with minced fresh parsley and enjoy!
