INGREDIENTS

1 Loaf sourdough bread
3 Large eggs, whisked
1/4 C Bailey’s Irish Cream
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
1 tsp Cinnamon

For The Chocolate Sauce

4 oz Dark chocolate
2 tbsp Heavy whipping cream
1 ½ tsp Bailey’s Irish Cream

For The Whipped Cream

1/2 C Heavy whipping cream
1-2 tbsp Powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Slice bread to desired thickness.
  2. Crack eggs in a 9×9” pan. Whisk until light and fluffy. Add Bailey’s, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly until mixed.
  3. Place bread in the pan and soak each side for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat pan on medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Place soaked bread into pan and cook for about 1 minute on each side until slightly brown. Remove bread from pan and set aside until all bread is cooked.
  5. While cooking the French toast, prepare the chocolate sauce. In a glass measuring cup, or other microwave-safe bowl, combine 4oz of Dark chocolate with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.

Saucy one pan French onion chicken with juicy pan-seared chicken smothered in caramelized onion gravy and three kinds of melty Italian cheese. This 30 minute meal will be a staple in your house!
Author: 
Recipe type: Main Dish
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced into rings
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons beef broth, divided
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian blend herbs/Italian seasoning (OR ¼ teaspoon dried basil + ¼ teaspoon dried thyme + ½ teaspoon dried oregano)
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 slices swiss cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • fresh thyme or parsley and cracked black pepper for topping (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to bake at 400 degrees OR broil on low. In a large oven-safe skillet (see note) over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onions and 3 tablespoons beef broth and saute onions for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally so the onions don't burn, for about 15 minutes longer until browned and very tender. Use tongs or a fork to transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
  2. While onions are cooking, prepare the chicken by drizzling with oil, then seasoning with salt and pepper (to taste) and Italian herbs. Once onions have finished cooking and are removed from the pan, cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side (don't clean out the pan between the onions and chicken) until browned on both sides. (Chicken may not be fully cooked through yet, that is okay).
  3. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm and return the onions to the pan. Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for 1 minute over medium-high heat. Add beef broth and continue to cook, stirring throughout, until mixture comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return chicken to pan and spoon some of the sauce over each piece of chicken.
  4. Top chicken with one slice of provolone each, then one slice of swiss, then ¼ of the parmesan cheese. Transfer skillet to your preheated oven and cook for about 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through completely and cheeses are melted.
  5. Spoon some of the onions and gravy over the top of the chicken, garnish with thyme or parsley and cracked black pepper, and serve.
Notes
If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, you can use whatever pan you do have for the stove portion of the recipe, then transfer everything to a casserole dish or similar baking pan for the baking portion of the recipe.
