How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ounces goat cheese or brie
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2/5 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Let's caramelize the onions. Heat the 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion to the pan, along with a pinch of salt. Cook the onions slowly at medium heat, periodically stirring until they become soft and brown, for about 20 minutes. Add a few splashes of water during the cooking time to avoid burning.
- Step 2: When the onions are well caramelized and very soft, stir in the dried cranberries, balsamic vinegar, and optional thyme. Continue stirring until the vinegar has cooked off and the cranberries have plumped up, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set the mixture aside.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 4 thinner cutlets. Season each chicken cutlet with salt and pepper.
- Step 4: Heat or spray some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Step 5: When the chicken is browned and cooked through, top each with some of the crumbled goat cheese or slice of brie. Cover the pan with for about 1 minute, or until the cheese gets warm and a little melty.
- Serve: Transfer the chicken onto plates and top each with a generous dollop of the cranberry onion relish. Enjoy.
