Name: Cheesy French Onion Chicken with Potatoes
Cuisine: European, Mediterranean, French
Ingredients: 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more as needed; 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (see note); Salt and pepper; 2 yellow onions, sliced; 1 pound baby gold potatoes, halved or 2 large Russets, diced; Salt and pepper, as needed; 1/3 cup apple cider or apple juice; 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard; 1 teaspoon beef stock concentrate (or chicken); ½ cup beef stock (chicken stock is fine, if that’s what you have); Several sprigs of fresh thyme and rosemary; 3 to 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts; 1 heaping cup of shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese (Swiss being the more affordable option, Gruyere the more “French Onion” choice); ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

Instructions

A cozy, hugely flavorful, one-pan chicken dinner that, if you’re anything like me, you will reach for over and over again. I use beef stock because it’s got a deep flavor that works really well here. But you can absolutely use chicken stock, if that’s what you have or prefer. I also call for Swiss or Gruyere cheese here, as either will work. Swiss is typically much more affordable, but Gruyere more classic. Up to you! Can't really go wrong either way.
