Oven Baked 4-Ingredient French Onion Chicken Bake

Ingredients:

Directions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass casserole dish.

2. Arrange Chicken: Place the 4 raw whole boneless chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish in a single layer to ensure even cooking.

3. Add Soup: Pour the 1/10.5 oz can of condensed French onion soup evenly over the top of the chicken, allowing the liquid and onion strands to settle around and over every piece.

4. Initial Bake: Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is nearly cooked through.

5. Melt the Cheese: Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese over each individual chicken breast, then return the dish to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Add Crunch and Finish: Top the dish with 1 cup of crispy fried onions, scattering them evenly over the melted cheese. Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions are golden brown and the thickest part of the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

7. Rest and Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving so the flavorful juices and sauce can settle. Spoon the extra warm French onion sauce over each chicken breast when plating.
