Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 large onions thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning or poultry seasoning works great too
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère or mozzarella
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Season the chicken on both sides with garlic salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, golden, and caramelized (about 15–20 minutes). Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the minced garlic and flour, stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring, then add the Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Nestle the chicken back into the skillet. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the top and transfer the skillet to a 400°F oven. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
