Chicken with Brie and Caramelized Onions
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 4 small skinless, boneless chicken cutlets, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 ounces triple cream Brie - thinly sliced and rind removed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup vermouth
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet; cook and stir the onion in the butter until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the sugar and cook until the sugar completely melts, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
- Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
- Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour; shake off the excess flour and then dip the chicken in the egg and water mixture.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook the chicken in the hot oil until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
- Place 2 of the chicken breast halves in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Top each with about half the brie and half the caramelized onions.
- Lie the remaining chicken breast halves atop the brie and onions.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
- While the chicken bakes, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Allow the butter to brown slightly before adding the vermouth; bring to a simmer and allow to cook until the liquid reduces by about half.
- Season with the thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Stir the arrowroot into the mixture to thicken.
- Serve the sauce over the chicken.
