Instructions

Peel the onions, cut in half, and slice into thin half-moons

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the olive oil and melt butter until foamy.

Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown, around 15 minutes.

Stir in the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Continue to cook until liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Stir in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and thyme.

Preheat oven to 400°

Use butter or olive oil to grease a 9" x 13" baking dish.

Spread half of the caramelized onions on the bottom of the baking dish.

Arrange the chicken breasts evenly over the onions in the baking pan and season them with salt and pepper.

Top the chicken with the remaining caramelized onions.

Top the chicken and onions with the shredded cheese.

Bake 30-40 minutes, until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°
