Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Thaw Chicken: Ensure the chicken breasts are completely thawed before starting the recipe. |
| 2 | Prepare Mustard Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and white wine. Stir until the mixture reaches a medium thickness. |
| 3 | Caramelize Onions: In a skillet, melt butter with a dash of olive oil over low heat. Add thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until they turn golden brown and caramelized. |
| 4 | Coat Chicken: Add the caramelized onions and thawed chicken breasts to the mustard mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes while preheating the oven to broil. |
| 5 | Preheat Broiler: Set your oven to broil and let it preheat while you prepare the chicken. |
| 6 | Broil Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a broiling pan, ensuring there are plenty of onions on top of each breast. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through, with white meat in the center and clear juices. |
| 7 | Add Cheese: Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each breast. Return the chicken to the oven and broil for an additional minute or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. |
| 8 | Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving. Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired. Enjoy your John’s Delightful Dijon Chicken hot and fresh! |
