Main Ingredients

4-6 pieces Chicken thighs Skin-on, providing richness and moisture.
2-3 large Onions Thinly sliced, they sweeten and caramelize as they cook.
2 tbsp Butter For sautéing the onions to golden perfection.
1 packet French onion soup mix Adds seasoning and depth, feel free to make your own from scratch.
1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth Provides moisture and enhances the chicken's flavor.
1 tsp Dried thyme A pinch uplifts overall flavor with a warm herbal note.
Salt and pepper To taste, essential for balancing flavors.

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally until they start to turn soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Spray your baking dish with cooking spray or grease it lightly with butter.
Spread the sautéed onions evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Nestle the chicken thighs on top of the onions.
In a bowl, mix the onion soup mix, chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined and pour over the chicken and onions.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad and crusty bread to soak up the sauce. For variations, consider adding mushrooms or bell peppers.
