French Onion Skillet Chicken

I made it last night!! I loved it, and my leftovers will not go to waste!! Yes, beef broth is how you achieve the “French Onion”!! Make your gravy your own way, I start with a rue, but whatever works for you. If you don’t like french onion soup, skip the beef broth.. change the cheese.. it doesn’t matter, it just won’t be 😋 French Onion chicken.

French Onion fans will go crazy for this chicken dinner! …
