- Ingredients
- Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in balancing the flavor:
- Chicken: Boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts. Thighs are juicier and more forgiving.
- Rice: Long-grain white rice or basmati rice works best. Avoid short-grain sticky rice.
- Onions: Yellow or sweet onions are ideal for caramelization.
- Beef Broth or Chicken Broth: Beef broth mimics the classic French onion soup taste, but chicken broth also works.
- Butter & Olive Oil: For sautéing the onions to perfection.
- Garlic: Adds aromatic depth.
- Fresh Thyme or Dried: Brings a herby note that complements caramelized onions.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Optional but it adds a savory, umami kick.
- Gruyère or Swiss Cheese: The melty nutty cheese topping ties everything together.
- Salt & Black Pepper: To season generously.
