French Onion Chicken

French Onion Chicken is a new and favorite recipe for me. Coming from someone that does not like french onion soup...this was amazing! AND I didn't feel guilty eating this! Super light and can even eat this over egg noodles instead of rice, or just by itself!

Ingredients

2 Chicken breasts, boneless skinless

Salt, pepper, Trader Joes umami seasoning

1/2 yellow onion, sliced

Pam cooking spray

I Cant Believe Its Not Butter spray

1/2 Tbsp garlic, minced

1/2 C + 3 Tbsp beef broth

1 Tbsp flour

2 oz mozzarella

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a sauce pan over medium heat, coat the bottom with Pam and about 15 sprays of butter. Add the sliced onions and stir to coat. 

Cook for about 2 minutes and then add 3 Tbsp beef broth. Continue cooking onions until browned.

Once they become translucent and soft, you may need to higher the heat to get the brown color.

In the meantime, add the salt, pepper and umami seasoning to both sides of your chicken.

Once the onions are browned, remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan over medium high heat, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove and set to the side.

Add your onions back to the pan. Add 1 Tbsp flour and stir the onions to coat.

Add the 1/2 C broth and garlic. Stir to combine and make sure all lumps of flour are dissolved.

Bring to a simmer and stir until sauce thickens. 

Once thickened, pour sauce & onions into a casserole dish. Place chicken on sauce and top with the mozzarella.

Place into oven and cook for 20 minutes.

Serve over rice, egg noodles, pasta or potatoes and a side of vegetables.
