Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Return the onions to the pan with the minced garlic, sprinkle in the flour, and stir for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Pour in the beef stock and simmer 3 minutes until the gravy thickens.

  5. 5

    Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese and pile some onions on top.

  6. 6

    Broil 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling, then serve with crusty bread.
