French Onion Chicken Skillet

Skillet French Onion Chicken!

Even if you aren't a fan of onions, there is just something about French Onion flavors that appeal to the crowd!

The onion flavor is definitely mellowed against the chicken, and the chicken has a nice kick that is anything but bland.

This chicken skillet is great for nights you some chicken thawed out (or some from the grocery store in the fridge, ready to go), but don't have a clue on what sounds good!

Seasoned Chicken

I made this dish in a cast iron pan, and if you haven't invested in one yet it does help to cook evenly. 

You can find cast iron at all price points, so it doesn't have to be something you have to avoid due to the cost.  I linked 

Cast iron cooks at a nice even temperature, so you don't have to worry as much about hot and cool spots like you do with regular pans. This is ideal for chicken, since you can really get some dried out chicken if it happens to be sitting on a hot spot on the pan!

How to Make French Onion Chicken!

The first thing you will do is slice your onions and brown them until soft.

Grilled Onions

Remove the onions to a plate, set aside. You will then brown your chicken breast, about 5 min per side. The chicken will cook thoroughly in the oven, so no need to worry about it reaching done-ness.

After your chicken is cooked, toss all the onions in the cast iron pan right on top of the chicken drippings and tidbits. If any pieces are stuck, no worries!

You will actually de-glaze the pan with your next ingredients. Add the beef broth and when you stir be sure to get all the chicken bits off the bottom of the pan.

French Onion Chicken Liquid

The onion mixture will gradually thicken as it cooks. This is one time you want to let it just sit and do it's thing, rather than hurry it along. The flavors need a chance to meld together well.

After your soup and onion mixture has thickened, return chicken breasts into pan.

Here's where the recipe really comes together into this beautiful skillet meal!

Add your onions onto each chicken piece and top with provolone.

Put skillet into the hot oven and let chicken finish cooking, around 15 minutes depending up on the size of the cutlets or chicken breasts.
