Equipment

  • oven
  • skillet
  • Baking Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Cooking spray
  • 3 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 large Yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 5 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced (about 2 tsp.)
  • ¼ cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Frozen sweet peas, thawed
  • 3 cups Chopped cooked chicken (12 oz.)
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 cup Crispy fried onions (such as French's)
  • 4 oz Pre-shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup)
  • 2 oz Gruyère cheese, shredded (about ½ cup)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 11-x 7-inch or 2 ½-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onions, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and starting to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Uncover; stir in salt and pepper. Re-cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and very soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Uncover. Stir in butter and garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and butter has melted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over onion mixture, and cook, stirring often, until well incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in broth, and bring to a simmer over medium, scraping bottom of skillet to release browned bits.
  • Remove skillet from heat; stir in peas. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together chicken, sour cream, mayonnaise, and parsley in a large bowl.
  • Add onion mixture to chicken mixture in large bowl, and stir until well combined. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with fried onions, mozzarella, and Gruyère.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and sides are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool 5 minutes. Serve.
