Serves: 4

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large sweet or Spanish onions (about 12 ounces total), thinly sliced and separated into rings
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
- 3/4 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Saute the onions over medium-low heat until tender and golden. Add the sugar after the first 5 minutes of cooking. Caramelizing the onions will take about 15 minutes; stir occasionally. Remove the onions from the skillet with a slotted spatula; set aside.

Brush the chicken on both sides with mustard; sprinkle with pepper. Saute in the same skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Arrange the reserved onions over the chicken; heat through. Serve with additional cracked pepper, if desired.
