Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 chicken breast fillets, flattened to 1/4-inch-thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large onion, finely diced

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will steam instead of sear. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Sear the chicken until it is golden brown: This will help to lock in the flavor and juices.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure you use a cheese that has a lot of flavor. Sharp cheddar, pepper jack, and Gruyère are all good choices.
  • Simmer the sauce until it is thick and bubbly: This will help to develop the flavors and make the sauce nice and creamy.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables are all good options.
