Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 medium onions, sliced
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear in the skillet for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced onions and sauté until caramelized (about 6 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
