Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the thinly sliced onions.
Step 5
Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they become soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning.
Step 7
Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the skillet by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 8
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 9
Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine and create a creamy onion sauce.
Step 10
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes to heat the chicken through.
Step 11
Serve the chicken with caramelized onions on top, spooning the sauce over each piece. Enjoy your Keto Savory Chicken with Caramelized Onions as a flavorful low-carb meal.
