Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions: How to Cook Weight Watchers French Onion Chicken Bake

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Add the thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the onion mixture. Top each chicken breast with shredded Swiss cheese.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
