Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
4 chicken breasts, (1 1/2-2 pounds)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all purpose flour
2 cups low sodium beef broth
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
8 oz swiss cheese, grated
8 oz gruyere cheese, grated

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large (oven-safe) skillet over medium heat. Add in the sliced onions and sauté until caramelized to a deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the ovens to a plate, tent with foil, and set aside.
Season the chicken with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken into the same skillet and cook for 5 – 6 minutes on each side or until cooked throughout and no longer pink. Set aside with the onions.
Melt the butter in your skillet, then add the flour and stir until combined. Add in the beef broth, oregano, thyme, and more salt and pepper to taste, and let simmer for 1-2 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, and add the chicken and half of the onions back to the dish along with any juices on the plate. Top with the grated cheeses and the remaining onions.
Preheat the oven to broil.
Place the skillet in the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
