How to cook deliciously - French Onion Chicken Zoodle Bake

1. Stage

In a colander set over a bowl, toss zoodles with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Let zoodles drain of excess moisture while you cook the chicken and onions.

2. Stage

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to skillet, working in batches. Cook until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a work surface.

3. Stage

Return skillet to medium heat and melt butter. Add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and jammy, about 20 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, stir in sherry and thyme and simmer until almost completely reduced, about 2 minutes. Melt cream cheese into onion mixture and remove skillet from heat.

4. Stage

Use a clean dish towel (or several paper towels) to squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the zucchini noodles. Thinly slice chicken. In a large bowl, stir drained zucchini noodles and sliced chicken into onion mixture. Transfer to a baking dish. Top with cheese.

5. Stage

Bake until bubbly and slightly golden, about 20 minutes. If you’d like to develop a more golden top, broil on high for 2 minutes.
