Ingredients
Dried ingredients
- 30 g Butter (divided in two)
- 15 g Olive Oil (divided in two)
- 400 g White Onions (thinly sliced)
- 15 ml Balsamic Vinegar
- 500 g Chicken Breasts (2x 250g)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Dried Thyme
- 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
- 0.25 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Plain Flour
- 240 ml Beef Stock
- 0.5 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 100 g Gruyere (grated)
Fresh Chives
Instructions
- Caramelize onions: cook half the butter and oil with onions on medium heat for 15 mins, then add vinegar, salt, and pepper; cook low and slow for 20 mins.
- Prepare chicken: slice breasts horizontally, season with salt, garlic powder, thyme, and pepper.
- Cook chicken: fry in remaining butter and oil until golden and just cooked through, then set aside.
- Combine: add onions back to pan, stir in flour, gradually add stock, Worcestershire, and juices; return chicken, top with cheese, then grill until cheese melts.
- Serve: top with chives and extra onions, then enjoy.
Notes
Low and slow caramelizing onions enhances flavor; ensure cheese melts quickly under the grill to avoid overcooking chicken.
