INGREDIENTS  1x2x3x

• 4 cups peeled and chopped onions I used red onion because it’s my favorite
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 cup plus 3 tablespoon chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 2 cloves of garlic diced
• 1.5 tablespoon flour
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 4- 6 oz chicken breast
• ⅔ cup light gouda shredded cheese

INSTRUCTIONS 

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat and add in the chopped onions and 3 tablespoon of chicken broth. Let the onions cook for 45 minutes stirring often.
• While the onions are cooking, bring a separate frying pan to medium heat and add a little cooking spray. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper (generously) and sear each side of the chicken breasts for 5 minutes. Set them aside once they are done.
• When the onions are cooked, add in the thyme and garlic, and flour and mix well. Stir in ½ cup of the chicken broth and cook for 5 additional minutes.
• Stir in the remaining chicken broth, vinegar and mustard. Bring to a boil and allow the sauce to thicken. You don’t have to boil it for long. It just needs to be hot enough for the sauce to thicken. Once it’s thick, remove from the heat.
• Place the chicken in a sprayed casserole dish and top with the onion mixture and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove and add the shredded gouda cheese.
• Turn the oven to broil and let it broil for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
• Enjoy!
