Notes
- Store any leftovers of this French onion chicken in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Let the chicken rest for a bit before you slice it. About 10 minutes is plenty of time!
- Caramelize the onions in a skillet for 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned and tender. This will add depth of flavor to the recipe.
