This French Onion Dip Chicken Thighs recipe transforms juicy, seasoned chicken thighs into a creamy, flavor-packed dish with the help of classic French onion dip. The combination of caramelized onions, sour cream, and melted cheese creates an irresistible meal that pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (or boneless, if preferred)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup French onion dip store-bought or homemade – see notes
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup caramelized onions optional but highly recommended
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon paprika for color
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Sear the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Make the Creamy Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix French onion dip, caramelized onions, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella (or Swiss) and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the Chicken:
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve And Enjoy:
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite side dishes!
Notes
- Make It Lighter: Use boneless, skinless thighs and a Greek yogurt-based onion dip.
- Want Extra Crunch? Top with crispy fried onions before serving.
- Homemade French Onion Dip: Mix ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup mayo, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon caramelized onions.
- Storage And Reheating: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
