French Onion Soup Chicken
Mash up wine braised chicken breasts with French Onion Soup and you have this recipe: French Onion Soup Chicken. It got rave reviews from the hubs, so it must have been delish!
This was good. No. This French Onion Soup Chicken was beyond good. This was lick-the-slow-cooker-liner-until-nothing-was-left good. This got a “we can have this again” from the hubs, so it must have been amazing. He usually doesn’t make comments like that. I was stunned.
Granted, I knew it tasted delicious. I could tell when I was thickening the sauce and tasting the spices before I served it. I couldn’t stop “tasting” to get the seasoning right. We’ve all been there, right? Just one more taste to be sure. Just one more taste to be sure. Okay, last taste. No, seriously, this is the last taste. Okay, just one more.
Grab a fork and a knife and dig in!
I know you want to because I do! I want to make it again this week, it was that tasty!! The onions are all sweet and tender with that hint of white wine. The chicken has delicious onion and thyme flavor to it and it’s tender and scrumptious!
Top that one some toasted bread topped with spreadable Swiss cheese (or toast some gruyere or your favorite cheese on top) to mimic the crouton on top of the French onion soup. Smother the crouton with the chicken and onion mixture and chow down!
No, I didn’t put THAT much on my plate. It’s a smaller plate. I’m starting to put my dinner on the smaller plates and make it LOOK like I’m eating a lot, but I’m really not. That’s 4 ounces of chicken breast meat, 3 ounces of bread, and about 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups of the onion mixture.
And that was PLENTY! Oh yeah, and one wedge of the spreadable Swiss cheese (aka Laughing Cow). It added just enough creamy cheesiness that tied it all together. Seriously, gonna make this one again. I’m hungry just looking at it!
How can you resist this dish?
Just LOOK at it!! All that chicken, onion, cheesy bread goodness. You can see the crisp crust of the bread on the bottom. It just soaks up all that excess sauce making this amazing! You might want a few extra pieces of bread to clean your plate with. Trust me on this one!
