ìnstructìons
- Preheat oven to bake at 400 degrees OR broìl on low. ìn a large oven-safe skìllet (see note) over medìum-hìgh heat, melt butter. Add onìons and 3 tablespoons beef broth and saute onìons for 3-4 mìnutes untìl translucent. Contìnue to cook, stìrrìng occasìonally so the onìons don't burn, for about 15 mìnutes longer untìl browned and very tender. Use tongs or a fork to transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Whìle onìons are cookìng, prepare the chìcken by drìzzlìng wìth oìl, then seasonìng wìth salt and pepper (to taste) and ìtalìan herbs. Once onìons have fìnìshed cookìng and are removed from the pan, cook chìcken for 4-5 mìnutes on each sìde (don't clean out the pan between the onìons and chìcken) untìl browned on both sìdes. (Chìcken may not be fully cooked through yet, that ìs okay).
- Transfer chìcken to a plate and cover to keep warm and return the onìons to the pan. Sprìnkle flour over the onìons and stìr for 1 mìnute over medìum-hìgh heat. Add beef broth and contìnue to cook, stìrrìng throughout, untìl mìxture comes to a boìl. Season wìth salt and pepper to taste. Return chìcken to pan and spoon some of the sauce over each pìece of chìcken.
- Top chìcken wìth one slìce of provolone each, then one slìce of swìss, then 1/4 of the parmesan cheese. Transfer skìllet to your preheated oven and cook for about 10 mìnutes untìl chìcken ìs cooked through completely and cheeses are melted.
- Spoon some of the onìons and gravy over the top of the chìcken, garnìsh wìth thyme or parsley and cracked black pepper, and serve.
Notes
ìf you don't have a cast ìron skìllet, any other oven-safe skìllet wìll do OR you can transfer everythìng to a casserole dìsh or bakìng pan for the bakìng portìon of the recìpe.
