Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces large onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup gluten-free chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
Instructions
Slice the onions thinly and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are a deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.
While the onions are caramelizing, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In another skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the pan, cooking for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Once the onions are caramelized, add minced garlic to the skillet with the onions and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth and balsamic vinegar, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any brown bits.
Lower heat and simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add fresh thyme to the sauce, stirring to combine.
Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet with the sauce, letting them soak up the flavors for a few minutes.
Serve the savory chicken topped with caramelized onions and sauce, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
