Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed.
Variations:

Add Wine: Replace half of the chicken broth with white wine for an extra depth of flavor.
Use Different Cheese: Gruyère or Provolone cheese can be used for a more traditional French onion soup taste.
Make It Creamy: Stir in a splash of heavy cream before serving for a richer sauce.
FAQ:

Can I use boneless, skinless thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes! Chicken thighs work great in this recipe and add extra juiciness.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the caramelized onion and mushroom mixture in advance and refrigerate it. When ready to serve, reheat it and proceed with smothering the chicken.
