Notes
When cooking French Onion Soup Chicken, ensure the onions are deeply caramelized for maximum flavor. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference, and feel free to add a splash of balsamic vinegar for added depth. Using a good-quality Gruyere cheese will enhance the dish's richness, and pairing it with a crusty baguette can help soak up the delicious sauce.
