Creamy French Onion Chicken with Potatoes and Broccoli

OMG, it's super cold tonight and I asked Chat GPT for a cozy dinner idea.  This is what we came up with.  I added the garlic to the broccoli and substituted mozzarella for Gruyere.  This is absolutely delicious!

4 chicken breasts or thighs

2 large white onions, finely sliced

2 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup Half and Half

1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved, coated with olive oil and salted

2 cups broccoli florets, coated with olive oil, minced garlic, and salt

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

3/4 cup mozzarella pearls

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil.  Add onions, sugar, thyme, salt and pepper.

Cook slowly 20 - 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until deep golden and soft.  Add half of the garlic in the last minute.  

Deglaze with broth and half and half and add Worcestershire sauce.  Simmer 2 - 3 minutes.  

Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Spread them in the skillet nestled among the chicken.  Spoon the creamy onion sauce over everything.

Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

While the chicken roasts, toss the broccoli with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and remaining minced garlic.  Let sit until the 30 minutes has passed.

Remove foil and scatter the broccoli around the pan.

Sprinkle mozzarella pearls over everything.  Return to oven uncovered for 15 minutes.  

Absolutely delicious!!
