Ingredient Amount
Chicken breasts, boneless & skinless 4 (about 2 lbs)
Condensed French onion soup 1 (10.5 oz) can
Swiss or Gruyère cheese, shredded 1 cup
Olive oil (or melted butter) 1 tbsp
Salt & black pepper To taste
Directions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven – Heat to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Prep Chicken – Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
3️⃣ Sear (Optional) – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned, then transfer to baking dish.
4️⃣ Add Soup – Pour condensed French onion soup evenly over chicken. Cover tightly with foil.
5️⃣ Bake Covered – Bake 20 minutes.
6️⃣ Add Cheese & Finish – Remove foil, spoon some soup over chicken, then sprinkle cheese on top. Bake uncovered 10–15 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and cheese is bubbly.
7️⃣ Rest & Serve – Let rest 5 minutes, then spoon oniony sauce over each piece.
💡 Notes:
Searing adds flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
Swiss or Gruyère melt best, but mozzarella works in a pinch.
Great for meal prep—it reheats beautifully the next day.
