Ingredients

Directions

Preparation


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Melt butter in large skillet. Add onion slices and sauté over medium to low heat until onions are caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. If onions get too dry, slowly add ¼ cup of the chicken broth. Stir in salt, pepper, ground thyme, wine, Balsamic vinegar and remaining chicken broth. When sauce begins to thicken, remove to prepared baking dish and set aside.
3. While onions are cooking, cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to make a pocket.
4. Spoon 2 tablespoons onion mixture and cheeses into each pocket. Close with toothpicks.
5. In the same skillet, heat olive oil and pan sauté chicken on both sides. (Chicken will be seared but not cooked through, you will finish baking chicken in oven.)
6. Arrange chicken on top of the onions. Spoon some of the onions over the top of chicken.
7. Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove toothpicks and serve. May top with additional cheese and place back in oven for 2 minutes to lightly brown cheese. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, if desired.
