Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds medium onions
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 4 to 5 ounces each
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

1. Cut onions into 6 wedges each. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. 2. Coat large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil and heat over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add chicken and saute until browned, about 3 minutes on each side; transfer to plate. 3. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining oil. Saute onions, 1 tablespoon sugar, and remaining salt and pepper until onions turn golden-brown and caramelize, about 8 minutes. Stir frequently, breaking onions apart as they cook. Add broth and boil until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. 4. Stir in rosemary, thyme, and remaining sugar. Return chicken to skillet and sprinkle with vinegar. Cook uncovered until juices of chicken run clear, about 4 minutes. 5. Divide into 4 portions. One serving equals one chicken breast topped with about 1/2 cup onions.
