Onion Chicken Bowl (Print)

Juicy chicken covered in caramelized onions, melty gruyere, and served on a bed of wild rice and peas. All the bold flavors of onion soup in a filling dish.

# Ingredients:

01 - Two medium-large chicken breasts, split (or four smaller ones).
02 - 1 1/2 cups green peas, cooked.
03 - Two heaping cups of wild rice, already cooked.
04 - One small bunch of parsley, roughly chopped (about 1/4 cup).
05 - A teaspoon of ordinary table salt for the chicken.
06 - Half a teaspoon of black pepper.
07 - A cup full of shredded gruyere cheese.
08 - Thin slices from 2 big yellow onions.
09 - 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
10 - A quarter teaspoon of salt for the onions.
11 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, stirred in.
12 - 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.
13 - A nice pinch, about 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme.
14 - Butter, 2 tablespoons, unsalted.
15 - Half a cup of chicken broth.
16 - 1/2 cup ready-to-use gluten-free flour mix.

# Steps:

01 - Put butter in a large pan on medium heat. Throw the onions and a pinch of salt in, then cook 'til golden-brown. Let it simmer low for about 20 mins until extra soft.
02 - Splash some balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce into those onions. Add thyme and stir it in. After that, set it aside someplace safe.
03 - Combine salt, pepper, and gluten-free flour in a bowl. Toss each chicken piece around until they’re evenly dusted.
04 - Brown the chicken in that same pan until it’s golden and close to cooked through. Take it out and rest it nearby.
05 - Add the chicken stock and Dijon mustard into the pan. Give it a stir and let it simmer until it looks like half the amount is left. Throw your chicken back in and cook 'til the liquid gets a bit thicker.
06 - Pile the onions and cheese on the chicken. Cover until the cheese is gooey and melted. Dish it up with warm rice, peas, and a sprinkle of parsley.

# Notes:

01 - Great for prepping ahead—lasts 3 to 5 days in the fridge.
02 - You can swap regular rice for cauliflower rice for fewer carbs.
03 - Keeps well in the freezer for about two months.
