Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes until deeply golden and caramelized. Move to a bowl.
2
Season the chicken with thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the olive oil to the skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken 5 minutes per side until golden and 160°F.
3
Return the onions to the pan with the minced garlic, sprinkle in the flour, and stir for 1 minute.
4
Pour in the beef stock and simmer 3 minutes until the gravy thickens.
5
Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese and pile some onions on top.
6
Broil 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling, then serve with crusty bread.
