Instructions

  • In a large nonstick skillet heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt, increase to medium-high, and cook, stirring frequently, until they start to brown around the edges.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low and add the balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the onions are very tender. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to deglaze. Set aside and wipe out the skillet.
  • If the chicken is not uniformly thin, place it between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat tenderizer or the bottom of a heavy pan until thin but still intact. Season to taste with 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper and set aside.
  • In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, pinch of salt, and paprika.
  • Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 teaspoon butter.
  • Dredge two of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, then shake off the excess and lay them side by side in the pan.
  • Cook the chicken for 3 minutes, or until lightly browned, then flip and cook for 3 more minutes, until internal temperture reaches 165 degrees F. Set aside on a dish and repeat with the remaining butter and chicken. Set aside.
  • Combine the broth and 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture and mix, add it to the skillet and whisk on low heat, 1 minute, until it thickens. Toss the rest of the flour out.
  • Place the chicke in a baking dish, pour thickened broth over, top with onions and then on top the shredded cheese. Broil until is golden browned and bubbling, about 5 min.
  • If not serving immidiatly, broil before serving.
