Chicken and Onion Skillet
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika on both sides.
- Cook the Onions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Push the onions to the sides of the skillet and add the seasoned chicken breasts.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce:
- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add the butter and stir until melted, creating a flavorful sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the onions and spooning some sauce over the top.
- Let everything heat through for a couple of minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Pair with a green vegetable like steamed broccoli or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
