Upgrade Your Dinner This Week
For quick and simple dinners, the boneless, skinless chicken breast is a popular choice, but why not utilize it for something more special? These French Onion Stuffed Chicken Breasts are the solution to that problem. This meal, which draws inspiration from the traditional French Onion Soup, has the same rich, caramelized onion flavor and melted cheese, which makes it feel really special and wonderful. We promise it’s worth the extra effort to caramelize those onions!
The Secret to Tasty Onions
We are aware that caramelizing onions can take some time, but it’s not hard! The secret is to cook patiently and give it the time it need. Cook your onions slowly over medium heat with butter and olive oil after slicing them thinly. Allow them to cook until they are golden brown, tender, and sweet. Usually, this process takes around half an hour, but if you have more patience, you can simmer them for even longer. You can add more beef stock to keep them moist if they begin to dry up and stir them from time to time.
The Key to a Delicious Broth
The flavorful broth of French onion soup is well-known, and we hope to replicate that flavor in this meal as well. Spread half of the onions in a baking sheet once they are perfectly caramelized, and use the remaining onions to fill the chicken. Make a pocket for the stuffing by cutting a slit lengthwise through each chicken breast. Add parmesan cheese, gruyere cheese, and onions to the pocket.
Simple Cooking Method
Start by quickly browning the chicken on a hot skillet to get the ideal mix of flavors. The oven then completes the remaining tasks. The main dish will be luscious and savory as the chicken cooks through atop a bed of soft, sweet, and jammy onions. A deep, rich, sweet, and savory onion taste, paired with succulent chicken and the ideal quantity of melted cheese, makes for an amazing finished product. This meal of chicken is unlike any other!

Two tablespoons of butter without salt
Divide 4 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Cut four big white onions in half and slice them thinly.
One teaspoon of sugar
Two tsp fresh thyme
One tablespoon of vinegar with balsamic
One cup of split beef broth
Three minced garlic cloves
Four chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
To taste, add half a cup of parmesan cheese, freshly ground black pepper, and freshly grated Kosher salt.
Getting ready
A 9 x 13-inch baking dish should be lightly oiled with butter or nonstick spray before the oven is preheated to 400°F. Put it away.
Put two tablespoons of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and scatter them evenly over the pan once the oil is shimmering. Allow them to cook until they become tender, stirring from time to time. If necessary, lower the heat to medium to avoid burning.
Add the salt, sugar, and thyme to the onions and heat them until they are jammy and dark brown, stirring them every few minutes. Add half a cup of beef broth to the pan if they begin to dry out.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar when the onions have caramelized, and scrape out any parts that have adhered to the pan. Add the minced garlic and simmer for 30 to 1 minute, or until fragrant. Take off the heat and place aside.
Without cutting all the way through, make a lengthwise incision in each chicken breast to create a pocket.
Fill each pocket with roughly 2 teaspoons of the caramelized onions, then heap on a heaping helping of gruyere and parmesan cheese. Use toothpicks to close the pockets.
Spoon the remaining caramelized onions into the baking dish’s bottom. Add the remaining half cup of beef broth and stir.
In a clean skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add salt and pepper to the chicken breasts before sear them for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Note: At this stage, the chicken does not need to be cooked thoroughly.
In the baking dish, arrange the seared chicken over the caramelized onions. Over each chicken breast, spoon a little of the onion sauce, and then top with any cheese that’s left.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
