Ingredients

  • low sodium beef broth
    ⅝ c

    2 tbsp
  • thyme leaves
    1 tsp
  • garlic powder
    ½ tsp
  • ground black pepper
    ½ tsp
  • coarse kosher salt
    1 tsp
  • olive oil
    2 tsp
  • boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • Swiss or Gruyere cheese
    ½ c
  • mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    In a liquid measuring cup or mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, vinegar, thyme, garlic pepper and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Pour the beef broth mixture over the chicken, heating until at a low simmer.

  5. 5

    Top with the caramelized onions and sprinkle with cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the chicken registers at 160°F.

  7. 7

    Remove and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes (carry-over cooking will bring it up to 165°F).

  8. 8

    Before serving, sprinkle liberally with garlic croutons and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired.
