Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 yellow onions, cut into thin slices
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 3 splashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • Garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
  • Cook the onions slowly over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. This process should take about 25-30 minutes. If the onions become too dry add some beef broth to the pan.
  • Near the end of the cooking time add the balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir well to combine the ingredients and let them cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to a baking pan and top them with the caramelized onions. Place one slice of cheese over each chicken breast.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Once the chicken is cooked place it under the broiler for 1 minute or until the cheese is golden.
