Caramelized onions, chicken tenderloins and buttered, toasted baguettes slices with melty gruyere cheese. Made with the help of your Instant Pot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 medium vidalia or yellow onions, halved and sliced
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Better than Bouillon beef base
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 8 chicken tenderloins (frozen or fresh)
  • 1/2 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 8 ounces sliced baguettes
  • Butter
  • 4 ounces shredded gruyere cheese

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the butter and melt. Add in the sliced onion, baking soda and ½ tsp kosher salt and pepper. Stir the onions every so often for about 4 minutes. Onions will start to turn yellow and release some moisture. Turn off the Instant Pot. Stir in the beef base, water and vinegar. Turn off Instant Pot.
  2. Add in the chicken tenderloins and sprinkle them with the Italian seasoning, thyme, ¼ tsp kosher and pepper. 
  3. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 3 minutes. 
  4. Turn oven to 350 degrees. Butter the baguette slices and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the bread and bake for 2 more minutes. 
  5. Once Instant Pot is done cooking time let it sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. In a small bowl stir together 1 Tbsp of cornstarch with 1-2 Tbsp of water, until smooth. Then pour the mixture into the Instant Pot. The cornstarch mixture will thicken up sauce quickly. 
  6. Scoop a portion of onions, sauce and chicken onto each serving plate and top with 2-3 baguette slices. Eat and enjoy!
