Imagine the deep, caramelized soul of French onion soup—sweet onions, thyme, and beefy richness—melded with tender chicken and a blanket of molten Swiss cheese. Now imagine it requires just 4 ingredients, 10 minutes of prep, and emerges from the oven bubbling, golden, and deeply comforting. This isn’t a shortcut—it’s culinary alchemy, where two humble cans of soup transform into a luxurious, onion-laced gravy that clings to every bite of chicken. Inspired by the elegance of soupe à l’oignon, but streamlined for real life, it’s the kind of dish that makes weeknights feel like a bistro soirée.

Perfect for:
Busy weeknights, holiday sidekicks, freezer-friendly meal prep, or anytime you crave French bistro comfort—sans the fuss.
