Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup caramelized onions (from about 2 large onions)
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms (optional)
Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Sear the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add caramelized onions and optional mushrooms. Stir and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth and scrape up browned bits from the skillet. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve warm with desired sides.
Notes
- Use boneless chicken thighs for a juicier option.
- Add a splash of cream or a pinch of paprika for extra richness and flavor.
- Top with melted cheese before serving for a more indulgent dish.
- Caramelize onions by cooking them slowly in butter over medium-low heat for 20–30 minutes.
- Reheat leftovers with a splash of broth in a skillet to retain moisture.
