Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 large sweet onions, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Marsala cooking wine
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar

  • Cooking spray
  • Additional salt and pepper, to taste
  • 6 slices French bread

Instructions

  • In a large skillet set over medium heat, warm oil. Add onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, covered, 13-15 minutes, or until the onions are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Uncover skillet. Mix in brown sugar, cooking wine, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar with the onions and allow to cook an additional 3-5 minutes over medium-high heat, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Transfer onions to a plate.
  • Add chicken to the skillet used to cook the onions. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook chicken 5-7 minutes on both sides, or until fully cooked.
  • Place 6 slices of French bread on a baking sheet. Top each bread slice with one piece of chicken, approximately 1/4 cup onions, and 2 tablespoons cheese.
  • Bake in oven set to 350°F for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
