Name: Caramelized Onion And Goat Cheese Chicken
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves; cooking spray; kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1 cup thinly sliced Spanish onion; 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar; 1/2 (4 ounce) log crumbled goat cheese; 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest; 1/2 teaspoon lavender flowers; 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Preheat a grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Spray chicken breasts with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper. Grill chicken until grill marks appear on the outsides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the lined baking sheet.
3
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove chicken, set aside, and increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4
Heat a flat-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion begins to brown, 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 25 minutes more.
5
Season onion with salt and add vinegar; cook until vinegar absorbed, about 3 minutes. Top chicken with the onions. Crumble goat cheese on top and sprinkle with lemon zest and lavender. Drizzle honey on top.
6
Return chicken to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken reads 165 F (74 degrees C) and goat cheese is lightly toasted, 8 to 10 minutes more.
