French Onion-Chicken Skillet

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsps grass-fed butter ghee, or clarified butter
  • 2 extra-large onions thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken or beef bone broth divided
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tsps dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp Arrowroot powder or GF flour
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp homemade Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated cheese like gruyere, mozzarella, white cheddar, or Monterey jack
  • fresh herbs as garnish if desired such as thyme or parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f.
  • Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions and saute, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of broth and allow it to cook down with the onions until the liquid is nearly gone and the onions are golden-brown around 15 minutes.
  • Whisk together the oregano, garlic powder, Arrowroot, sea salt, and pepper. Rub each chicken breast really well with this mixture.
  • Once the onion is caramelized, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, then using a spatula, set this onion mixture aside on a plate.
  • Heat the oil in the same skillet and sear the chicken for 3-5 minutes per side until nicely golden-brown.
  • Pour in the remaining cup of broth and bring the sauce to a simmer. Allow it to cook with the chicken for about 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of each chicken breast reads 165F.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, top each with your caramelized onions and then top evenly with your grated cheese.
  • Place your skillet into your preheated oven.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, around 8-10 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs of choice.
  • Enjoy while hot!
