Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 (4 oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, raw
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
2 Tbsp Land o'Lakes light butter made with canola oil
1 yellow onion, peeled & sliced
1 (10 oz.) can French onion soup ( I use Campbell's)
1 cup low sodium beef broth
1/2 cup fat free or light mozzarella (I use Market Pantry reduced fat mozzarella)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a skillet pan ( or cast iron grill skillet) melt butter and add sliced onions. Saute the onions in butter until softened and translucent.
  • When onions become soft, place onions on a plate and set aside.
  • Using the same skillet, spray the skillet with non stick cooking spray.
  • Season each chicken breast with paprika, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Place seasoned chicken breasts into prepared skillet.
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium high, on both sides or until chicken breasts are golden brown.
  • Add onions back into the skillet with the chicken breasts.
  • Pour in the can of French onion soup and 1 cup beef broth. Simmer the chicken and onions for 2-3 minutes-this will allow the soup to caramelize the chicken.
  • If using a cast iron skillet pan top each chicken breast with light mozzarella cheese. (otherwise-transfer chicken, onions, and sauce into an oven safe baking dish-and top with light mozzarella cheese.)
  • Place skillet or baking dish in preheated oven.
  • Cook for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken.
  • Don't be afraid to brown the onions. This will caramelize them and give them a deep, rich flavor. Be patient and cook them over medium heat until they are a deep golden brown.
  • Use a good quality white wine. This will add depth and complexity to the sauce. Avoid using cooking wine, as it is often harsh and acidic.
  • Season the chicken generously. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming bland.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This is important to prevent foodborne illness. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
