We know everybody loves French onion soup, so we figured out a way to incorporate those flavors into a delicious chicken dinner. Caramelized onions and Swiss cheese top a beautifully seared chicken breast before being melted to perfection in the oven.

Tip: Easy way to remove thyme from stem: just pinch the top and run your fingers down the stem. Presto! The leaves should just fall off.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and halve onion. Slice onion into thin strips.

    Stem thyme.

    Halve tomatoes.

    Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onion

    Place a medium oven-safe non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and onion to hot pan and spread onion into a thin layer (some overlap is ok). Reduce heat to medium and cook undisturbed, 3-4 minutes.

    Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Then stir often until onions are a deep golden brown, 5 minutes.

    Add thyme and sherry wine. Cook until wine has evaporated, 2-3 minutes.

    Transfer onion to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Coat and Sear the Chicken

    Mix panko and 1/4 tsp. salt on a plate. Add a chicken breast to panko and coat completely, pressing firmly to adhere. Shake gently to remove excess breading. Repeat with second chicken breast.

    Return pan used to caramelize onions to medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil and chicken breasts to hot pan. Sear undisturbed on one side, 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Flip chicken, and place pan in hot oven. Roast until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 9-11 minutes.

    Carefully, divide onions between chicken breasts and cover with cheese. Return pan to oven and roast until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from oven and rest 5 minutes.

    While chicken rests, make salad.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Combine white balsamic vinegar, sugar, 5 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper in a mixing bowl. Add arugula and tomatoes and toss to coat completely.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card. Bon appétit!
