Tender chicken smothered in a velvety French onion sauce, topped off with loads of melty cheese, makes this recipe a keeper! I was inspired by a recipe from Delish; however, making it their way, with oil used for the onions and the general cooking time, did not work out for me. The next time, I switched out the oil for butter, steamed the onions for 5 minutes, then slow cooked them for about 45 minutes, stirring frequently, until they were nicely browned. I know it takes a bit longer, but it was time well spent for the depth of flavor in the end.
For this recipe, I used my Rapid-Prep Mandoline and my Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid:
Upright Mandoline
Our Rapid-Prep Mandoline lets you safely slice, dice, julienne, and french-fry cut fruits and veggies in seconds. Simply select your cut, adjust its thickness from 8 thickness settings, and get prepping. Our mandoline’s stainless-steel blade cuts through tough veggies, so you can transform a variety of ingredients into beautiful slices.
And, you can cut ingredients with confidence—our mandoline is designed to safely keep hands clear of blades. When you’ve finished prepping, you can store the food chute and food pusher in the food catch tray and fold it flat, though you’ll use it so often, you may want to leave it on your counter!
Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid
Braising Pan and Skillet in One
Meet the perfect combination of skillet and Dutch oven. With a wide cooking surface, shallow sides, and oven-to-table design, whether a busy weeknight or relaxing weekend, you can braise, bake, sauté, simmer, or roast whatever’s on the menu. The self-basting lid adds juices back into whatever you’re cooking for added moisture and flavor.
This classic gray skillet has a light-colored enameled interior, which means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and it lets you easily see food browning so you can avoid scorching it. With the durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—this skillet has two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry dishes from the oven right to your dinner table. Plus, cast iron’s excellent heat retention means that food stays hot and delicious even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready.
