French Onion Chicken Bake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a skillet pan ( or cast iron grill skillet) melt butter and add sliced onions. Saute the onions in butter until softened and translucent.

Step 3

When onions become soft, place onions on a plate and set aside.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, spray the skillet with non stick cooking spray.

Step 5

Season each chicken breast with paprika, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Place seasoned chicken breasts into prepared skillet.

Step 6

Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium high, on both sides or until chicken breasts are golden brown.

Step 7

Add onions back into the skillet with the chicken breasts.

Step 8

Pour in the can of French onion soup. Simmer the chicken and onions in the soup for 2-3 minutes-this will allow the soup to caramelize the chicken.

Step 9

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.)

Step 10

Place skillet or baking dish in preheated oven.

Step 11

Cook for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly.
