Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1 sliced onion to the skillet around the chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese over the chicken. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs before serving.
