4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
4 chicken breasts
2.5 pounds yellow onions, thinly sliced - use a mandolin or pawn the job off on an unsuspecting family member or friend
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme if you have, just the little leaves (and yes i know it’s a pain the ass) or
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup dry sherry or vermouth
2 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons soy
4 slices Swiss cheese
Preheat oven to 350
Melt 1/2 the butter with 1/2 the oil in a large pan, add the chicken and brown on all sides - about 5 minutes then set chicken aside
To the same pan put in a little more butter & oil and add the onions - cook over medium heat until a deep golden – 30 minutes
Add the garlic & thyme and cook until fragrant, about a minute
Pour in the sherry or vermouth, and cook until about 1/2 the liquid has evaporated
Sprinkle flour over onions, mix through and cook about a minute
Add the broth and soy, mix well, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, add the chicken, cover and put in the oven about 20 minutes or until the chicken is about 160 degrees
Remove from oven, turn to broil and add a folded slice of cheese to each breast
Put back in the oven, 8-10 inches away from the coils until cheese melts - a couple minutes
Remove, add more thyme and serve
