French Onion Chicken Bake Recipes

CRUNCHY FRENCH ONION CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spread crushed onions in a shallow bowl. Pour beaten egg into a separate shallow bowl.
• Dip chicken into beaten egg, then press into crushed onions. Gently tap chicken to let loose pieces fall away. Put breaded chicken to a baking sheet.
• Bake chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

FRENCH ONION CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat your olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat, add in your chopped onions and 3 Tbsp of chicken broth. Let onions cook for 45 minutes stirring often.
• When onions are close to being finished you can sear your chicken in a separate frying pan, season breasts with a little salt & pepper, use a little cooking spray and cook 5 minutes on each side over medium heat, set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350F
• When onions are cooked add in thyme and garlic. Add in flour and mix well. Stir in 1/2 cup of your chicken broth and cook for 5 minutes.
• Stir in remaining chicken broth, vinegar and mustard, bring to a boil, the sauce should thicken at this point.
• Place your chicken in a sprayed casserole dish, top with your onion mixture and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove and add your shredded gouda cheese (can substitute for another cheese if you wish)
• Turn oven to broil and broil for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
• Serve immediately, makes 4 servings. Can be frozen.

FRENCH ONION CHICKEN BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a skillet pan ( or cast iron grill skillet) melt butter and add sliced onions. Saute the onions in butter until softened and translucent.
• When onions become soft, place onions on a plate and set aside.
• Using the same skillet, spray the skillet with non stick cooking spray.
• Season each chicken breast with paprika, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Place seasoned chicken breasts into prepared skillet.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium high, on both sides or until chicken breasts are golden brown.
• Add onions back into the skillet with the chicken breasts.
• Pour in the can of French onion soup and 1 cup beef broth. Simmer the chicken and onions for 2-3 minutes-this will allow the soup to caramelize the chicken.
• If using a cast iron skillet pan top each chicken breast with light mozzarella cheese. (otherwise-transfer chicken, onions, and sauce into an oven safe baking dish-and top with light mozzarella cheese.)
• Place skillet or baking dish in preheated oven.
• Cook for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly.

FRENCH ONION CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to bake at 400 degrees OR broil on low. In a large oven-safe skillet (see note) over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onions and 3 tablespoons beef broth and saute onions for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally so the onions don't burn, for about 15 minutes longer until browned and very tender. Use tongs or a fork to transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• While onions are cooking, prepare the chicken by drizzling with oil, then seasoning with salt and pepper (to taste) and Italian herbs. Once onions have finished cooking and are removed from the pan, cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side (don't clean out the pan between the onions and chicken) until browned on both sides. (Chicken may not be fully cooked through yet, that is okay).
• Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm and return the onions to the pan. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for 1 minute over medium-high heat. Add beef broth and continue to cook, stirring throughout, until mixture comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return chicken to pan and spoon some of the sauce over each piece of chicken.
• Top chicken with one slice of provolone each, then one slice of swiss, then 1/4 of the parmesan cheese. Transfer skillet to your preheated oven and cook for about 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through completely and cheeses are melted.
• Spoon some of the onions and gravy over the top of the chicken, garnish with thyme or parsley and cracked black pepper, and serve.

• Brush chicken breasts with the mayonnaise mixture. Cover with the crumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet.
• Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Add mushrooms, shallots and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in chicken stock, potatoes, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Return chicken to the skillet.
