Caramelized Onion and Gouda Stuffed Chicken
  1. 1

    Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until golden brown. Keep cooking over medium-low heat until the onions deepen in color, 35 to 45 minutes; if they begin to burn, lower the heat. Once fully caramelized, take the skillet off the heat.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  3. 3

    Slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Evenly fill the pockets with 1 or 2 slices of Gouda cheese (depending on the size of the breast) and 1 tablespoon caramelized onions.

  4. 4

    Put seasoned coating mix in a shallow dish. Evenly dip each chicken breast in the coating mix and set on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
