Creamy Skillet French Onion Chicken
Savor a comforting one-pan dish featuring tender seared chicken breast bathed in a luscious, creamy French onion sauce. Caramelized onions, a hint of garlic, and a touch of tangy Dijon mustard come together with a splash of chicken broth and low-fat cream cheese to create a dish that’s both hearty and refined.
INGREDIENTS
1 piece (6 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 medium yellow onion
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp low-fat cream cheese
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove from the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion. Sauté the onions until they soften and begin to caramelize, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat cream cheese and Dijon mustard until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Return the chicken breast to the skillet and spoon some sauce over the top. Cover and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to ensure it’s cooked through and infused with the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed before serving.
