Hey guys welcome back to easy country cooking and cooking shair you know I’ve had french onion soup before and I got to thinking in my brain up here what about if you were to take that concept and apply it to something else like chicken so I went ahead and conco at a

Recipe of French onion chicken and you know what it came out absolutely incredible easy to make you know 25 30 minutes well maybe maybe a little more but you’ve got it made great midweek meal and the family will love it so let me show you how to do it so what I’ve

Got here guys are about four chicken thighs so I’m going to go ahead and season these up with a bit of salt and of course some ground black peepe a I’m going to use a fair amount here but you know the amount of seasoning is totally

Up to you a dusting of the old garlic just gots the heav garlic and again amount is up to you oops little too much there and last but not least some time kind is another seasoning I love I mean you could go crazy and even put a bit of

Rosemary on here but I’m just going to go with the four for now and of course these are boneless skinless or I shouldn’t say these are bone in skin on thighs guys but you could use boneless skinless chicken uh chicken thighs chicken parts whatever you like but I

Decide to use thighs I just like them okay and next up guys some oil into a pan over medium high heat and this is just allive oil and then the thighs in skinside down I just love that that Sizzle now I’ve using a cast iron pan

Here guys simply cuz I love cast iron but uh you can use any pan so we’re just going to cook these up I don’t know 6 7 Minutes something like that till they’re just about go through yeah about partway through guys we’re going to get these a

Flip over and just look at this you got some really nice color Happening Here and After about 7 or 8 minutes guys they are pretty much done and just remember they are going to simmer a little longer when we uh continue here down the road

So this is prettyy good so we are just going to pull them out and set them aside on a plate to rest a bit next up on the old agenda here guys I’m going to grab up some onions and we’re just going to slice these into sections and these

Are just white onions guys but you know you can use Spanish onions whatever flavor you like all right guys now in the same pan and you don’t want to do anything with that pan all because a great flavor happening there I’m going to add in a good knob of butter now I

Just help this melt down now in with those on onion now we’re going to let these cook away low and slow for about 15 20 minutes just to the point where they begin to caramelize so we got some nice you know kind of semi caramelized onions in here and we are coming along

Really well here guys just look at this I mean I don’t know about you but there is nothing better than caramelized onions on Burger sandwiches whatever and I mean there’s just something about caramelized onions in a cast iron pan I’ve never had them turn out poorly or

Bad I mean I just love Cast Iron cooking and I’m going to get out there this summer on the old open fire Pip with some cast iron pans we’ll do some cooking just going to be great but I am just loving the way these onions are coming

Along all righty then Guys these onions are cooked up just about the way I want them good caramelized a little more that’s fine for me so now we’re going in with two tablespoons of flour just to thicken things up and we’re going to stir this around till the flour

Dissolves and a bit of a roof forms and this is going to really thicken up our sauce here too M but just look at those onions then in we go with a cup and a half of beef so season things up again with a bit of salt not too much some ground black

Pepper and a little bit more time just give everything the old stir Roy here we’re just going to bring this to a boil and you’ll notice here I use beef stock stock and not chicken stock I mean you could use chicken stock but I just like

That richness of the beef stock or you could use a combo of beef stock and chicken stock next up we’re going back in with our chicken a man this is going to be so good my friends just look at that sauce bubbling away and we’re going

To reduce the heat a little bit and let the simmer away for about 15 minutes and we’re going to rotate that chicken occasionally and even you know grab up some of that sauce and just spoon it over top of that chicken just look at this guys all right

Guys we’ve simmered away for about 15 minutes here and it is looking and smelling mighty fine so now you probably guessed that we are going over the top with a piece of Swiss cheese over the top of each piece of chicken here just add those final

Touches slip a lid on and we’ll just let that simmer away a bit more until the cheese melts ladies and gentlemen that cheese has melted down and just look at this doesn’t that look tacular okie dokie guys let’s grab one up here and see what we’ve got some of

That delicious sauce that onion oh I mean life doesn’t get any better in this just look it let’s go ahead and plate this off and it is perfect with big ETS of any kind oh just look at and you know what I got to do I got to spoon some of

Those onions right over the top wow and there you have have it guys our French onion chicken FES in all their Glory all right guys this looks so darn good so let’s cut in here see what we got make sure we got lots of that cheese check out that chicken get some

Sauce on there got some onion on there I think we got a little bit of everything I think this going to be super duper Fantastical all right let’s give it a shot here this is fantastic of course you got me the caramelized onions right away chicken is done perfect I love the
