Method

Preparation

Season your chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and pan-sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the onions turn golden and caramelized.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits. Let it simmer to thicken slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet and ladle the onion gravy over each piece. Top with shredded cheeses.
Cover and let the cheese melt for about 2-3 minutes.
Finish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
