Equipment

  • skillet
  • oven
  • Baking Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces skinless, boneless chicken breasts, raw
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 2 tablespoon Land o’Lakes light butter made with canola oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, peeled & sliced
  • 1 can (10 oz.) French onion soup I use Campbell’s
  • 1 cup low sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup fat free or light mozzarella I use Market Pantry reduced fat mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a skillet pan (or cast iron grill skillet) melt butter and add sliced onions. Saute the onions in butter until softened and translucent.
  • When onions become soft, place onions on a plate and set aside.
  • Using the same skillet, spray the skillet with non stick cooking spray.
  • Season each chicken breast with paprika, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Place seasoned chicken breasts into prepared skillet.
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium high, on both sides or until chicken breasts are golden brown.
  • Add onions back into the skillet with the chicken breasts.
  • Pour in the can of French onion soup and 1 cup beef broth. Simmer the chicken and onions for 2-3 minutes to allow the soup to caramelize the chicken.
  • If using a cast iron skillet pan, top each chicken breast with light mozzarella cheese. Otherwise, transfer chicken, onions, and sauce into an oven-safe baking dish and top with light mozzarella cheese.
  • Place skillet or baking dish in preheated oven.
  • Cook for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly.
