One-pan French Onion Chicken Dinner
  1. Preheat oven to 400F

  2. In the microwave, melt one tbsp of butter

  3. Brush bread with butter and toast for 10 minutes, then slice into 1-inch pieces

  4. To a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp butter. Once the butter melts and begins to foam, add the chicken thighs. Cook until golden brown (about 4 minutes), flip and continue to cook until the chicken has an internal temp of 165F. Remove the chicken and lower the heat to medium

  5. Add 1 tbsp butter. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions and season with ½ tsp salt. Continue to cook the onions low and slow until they begin to caramelize and turn silky and golden brown. This could take 30 minutes, but it's worth it!!

  6. Add thyme, ½ tsp salt, and sherry. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the alcohol smell is gone

  7. Add bay leaves and stock and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for 4 minutes

  8. Remove bay leaves. Add back the chicken and nestle the pieces of bread around the chicken

  9. Top with Gruyere and place under the broiler (middle rack) for 2 minutes

  10. Serve immediately!

  11. Garnish with chopped chives
