Ingredients
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 bunch green onions, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons coarse-grained mustard
1 1/2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 bunch fresh thyme, chopped
2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Sear 2–3 minutes per side until golden; transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Stir in cherry tomatoes and green onions; cook 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Pour in chicken broth, mustard, rosemary, and thyme. Stir and simmer 1–2 minutes.
- Return chicken to skillet, spooning sauce and vegetables over the top.
- Sprinkle shredded Gruyère evenly over the chicken.
- Transfer skillet to oven; bake 15–20 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Swap Gruyère for mozzarella, fontina, or provolone for a different flavor profile.
Add mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers for extra vegetables.
For a creamy sauce, stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream before returning the chicken to the pan.
Add crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for heat.
