Remember back in April when I attended the SNAP! Conference? Well – the first night of the conference they fed us this INCREDIBLE chicken smothered with this sauce. It was so good. It was all I could do to not ask for another plate of it…..or 4 or 5 more plates. I could have eaten it until I was sick. It was amazing. So literally ever since then I have been craving it. Clearly I didn’t get enough. So I started experimenting in the kitchen with different sauces for my chicken. I came up with this French Onion Cheese Sauce that is really quite tasty. It isn’t quite like the one I mentioned before- I’m still working on recreating that one. But this was still tasty & share worthy. Looking for Easy Family Dinner Ideas? Top it on your chicken, add it to some noodles- whatever. It’s YUM-O!
We just grilled some boneless, skinless chicken breasts on the BBQ with just seasonings.
Then added the sauce just as we plated it.
Add a little additional parsley to the top to make it look pretty!
Makes for a scrumptious dinner with a side of baby spinach.

In your French onion cheese sauce you use 1/4 cup French Onion Recipe mix. What exactly is this ? I don’t see a recipe for it anywhere .
Many thanks

I love French onion anything, and I can see why you loved this chicken! It looks so golden brown and delicious, and the creamy sauce sounds out of this world!
Deanna Bushman says
This looks great. I’m not really a fan of chicken breast unless it’s like chopped up in something else (pasta dinners, for example), but I bet I could make an exception for this (even if I can’t, I bet the sauce would be fantastic over some grilled thighs, for example).
Gina Kleinworth says
I hear you Deanna. You could chop the chicken & toss with some noodles & the sauce – that would be tasty.
