French Onion Chicken

Good Afternoon Readers!!! 

Thank you for stopping in..I cannot wait to share this chicken recipe with y'all!!! It was so delicious and such an easy spin off of the comforting classic " French Onion Soup". 

Over the course of the holiday my blog posts will probably start to average 1 per week versus my normal 3 per week. I will still be cooking a lot on "stories" and will put a lot of my recipe inspo on instagram. I just really try and cherish this time with my babies! 

Christmas is a very special holiday to me and I have lots of fun stuff planned for my Jaxie this year!!!

Anyways about the Chicken..

You can do this one of two ways- I chose to do chicken thighs but you can also cube up a chicken breast as well and make it more like a "stew".

Ingredients

4 chicken thighs

2 tablespoons all purupose flour

2 cups beef broth

salt and pepper

fresh thyme

1 cup shredded swiss

3 Vidalia Onions

olive oil/butter

Balsamic Vinegar

** Tip**

When doing recipes that call for you to take food in an out of the pot. It is so much easier to cook with paper plates. That way once you are finished you can just throw the mess away and not worry about rinsing any dishes. I ALWAYS have paper plates on hand!!!!!!

Method:

Start by heating up some olive oil in a large skillet or dutch oven. Add the onions and sprinkle in some salt and pepper. Cook the onions down until Caramelized and tender- about 20 or so minutes. add a glug or two of balsamic vinegar and stir this in as well. Set the onions aside on a plate and add a bit more oil to the pot.  Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sprinkle on the thyme. Once your skillet or dutch oven is hot go ahead and sear your chicken on both sides- A nice golden brown is what you want to see on the skin side. Once nicely browned remove the chicken and set aside. Increase your temp to high heat and add in the beef broth. Scrape any of the brown leftover chicken bits from the bottom and stir stir stir! Decrease the temp to medium and whisk in your flour. Season with more salt and pepper. Add in your onions and chicken and sprinkle your swiss cheese on top. Place in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly!!!!
