Toppings
Onion Mixture
Add a bit of olive oil to a preheated pan. Add in onions and shallots to caramelize. Let them go for about 20-25 min at medium heat, mixing often. Add in 1 tbsp butter, allspice, crushed red peppers, thyme, nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Cook together for another 10 minutes.
Add in 1/2 cup of the bone broth, balsamic and soy sauce. Let it reduce almost fully. It’ll be about 10-15 more minutes.
Chicken
Slice the chicken breasts, then pound until desired level of thickness.
Brush a thin layer on mayo on both sides of the chicken.
Mix the flour with the parm, add salt and pepper. Coat the chicken well on both sides.
Preheat a pan on high for 2 minutes. Add plenty of olive oil and lower to medium high.
Fry the chicken breasts on medium high until golden on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan.
Sauce
Add garlic to the chicken pan. Deglaze with the wine. Once it’s reduced by half add in the onions and remaining bone broth. Cook on medium heat for about 5-7 min until it is reduced by about 1/4. Season to taste.
Add the chicken to the sauce and let it cook together 2-3 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and serve. Add the remaining butter to the sauce and emulsify.
Add the sauce to the chicken and add grated gruyere.
I melt the cheese by briefly putting it in a preheated oven on a cookie sheet or by using a torch.
Top it with more parm, chives and that is it!
