If you’re into French onion soup, then you’ll probably love this dish - it’s basically French onion soup in entree form with chicken. Recipe adapted from Tasty.co.

Ingredients:

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
6 onions, peeled and sliced
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 cup beef stock
2 cups shredded gryere cheese
Sliced Baguette or crusty bread, for serving

Directions:

Add the chicken thighs to a bowl, season with salt, pepper, garlic, and olive oil. Toss to coat.

In a pan over medium-high heat, cook chicken thighs until done. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add butter and sliced onions to the pan. Season with salt. Cook a few minutes until softened. Reduce heat to low, and cook until deeply browned and nicely caramelized, about 1 hour. Stir frequently.

Preheat broiler.

Add thyme and beef broth, and bring to a simmer. Add chicken back to the pan on top of the onions, and sprinkle with cheese.

Place under the broiler for about 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and slightly browned.

Serve with good crusty bread.

I don’t see why not! The beef stock keeps everything moist so they would be unlikely to dry out.
