Full Recipe:
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (4 oz each)
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
2 tbsp light butter (made with canola oil)
1 yellow onion, peeled and sliced
1 (10 oz) can French onion soup (e.g., Campbell’s)
1 cup low sodium beef broth
1/2 cup fat free or light mozzarella cheese
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until softened and translucent.
Once the onions are soft, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Spray the skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Season each chicken breast with paprika, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Return the sautéed onions to the skillet with the chicken breasts.
Pour in the French onion soup and beef broth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
If using a cast iron skillet, top each chicken breast with mozzarella cheese. If not, transfer the chicken, onions, and sauce into an oven safe baking dish and top with cheese.
Place the skillet or baking dish into the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
