Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
4 x 300g chicken breasts
1 large brown onion, thinly sliced
300g bacon rashers, cut into 1cm strips
300ml pure / pouring cream
125ml (½ cup) salt reduced chicken stock
35g sachet salt reduced French onion soup mix
150g (1 cup) 3 cheese blend
Sliced spring onions, to serve

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan forced.
Step 2

Heat oil in a large ovenproof casserole over a high heat and when hot add the chicken breasts. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side to seal. Remove and place on a plate.
Step 3

Add the onion to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, add the bacon and cook for 3-4 minutes. Pour over chicken stock and scrape the pan to remove any stuck on bits. Pour over cream and French onion soup mix, stir to combine and bring to the boil. Return to the pan chicken and toss to coat. Sprinkle over cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 4

Serve with steamed greens on the side if desired.
