French Onion Chicken is an easy weeknight dinner that takes less than 30 minutes to make. Tender chicken thighs in a rich, creamy onion gravy.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1.4 ounce packet French onion soup mix
  • 1 cup thinly sliced white onion
  • 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • Fresh parsley (minced, for garnish)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and registers 160 degrees F; about 4 minutes per side. Do this in batches if they won’t all fit. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.

  3. 3

    Turn down the heat to medium. To the skillet, add a tablespoon of butter, then add the onions and mushrooms. Cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook, stirring frequently, for another 2 minutes to cook the flour.

  4. 4

    Add the soup mix and water and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the chicken to the skillet and continue to cook over medium heat until the chicken is fully cooked and warmed through.

  6. 6

    Garnish with fresh minced parsley and serve with steamed rice or egg noodles. Spoon any extra sauce over the top.
