I love chicken — it's a blank canvas for so many different flavor combinations. Turn it into the base for the most deliciously easy dinner that is big on taste. It's a spin on french onion soup that is beyond good with a crispy outer coating, loads of onions, a sprinkling of thyme, and the right amount of gruyere cheese.

INGREDIENTS

    • 4 Perdue boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
    • 1 egg
    • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
    • 1/4 cup, plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    • 1 white onion, sliced
    • 1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
    • 1/2 cup beef stock
    • 4 slices gruyere cheese

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Place a sauté pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, onion, balsamic vinegar, salt, garlic, and thyme. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the onions start to caramelize. Add the stock and simmer for another 5 minutes.

    2. Remove the chicken from the package, rinse, and pat dry.

    3. Create a dredging station for the chicken by adding the egg to a bowl and whipping then placing the breadcrumbs on a plate.

    4. Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and add 1/4 cup vegetable oil.

    5. Press the chicken into the breadcrumbs, then in the egg, and back in the breadcrumbs. Add to the hot sauté pan and cook for 5 minutes per side.

    6. Evenly distribute the onions over the chicken then top with a slice of the cheese. Place under the broiler until the cheese starts to bubble.
