Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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.

Categories side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 pounds new potatoes (white, red, or Yukon gold), scrubbed and halved
1 pound cippolini onions, peeled
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, toss together all of the ingredients. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes and onions are golden brown and cooked through, about 40 minutes. Serve immediately or cool and store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, reheating the next day in a preheated 400 degrees F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

To save time, you can use pre-sliced onions and diced potatoes.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large skillet or braising pan.
Be sure to cook the onions over medium-low heat so that they caramelize slowly and evenly.
You can use any type of chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe.
If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry or some flour to the pan before adding the chicken broth.
Serve the chicken and potatoes over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Conclusion:

This low-fat French onion chicken and potato bake is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the potatoes are creamy and cheesy, and the onions are caramelized and sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
