Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally. This should take about 15 minutes.
  5. Transfer the caramelized onions to a baking dish and spread them evenly.
  6. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on top of the onions in the baking dish.
  7. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and onions.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are golden brown.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.
