Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add 5 sliced medium onions to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes until they soften.

Continue cooking the onions for an additional 10-15 minutes on medium heat until they are browned, stirring occasionally.

Deglaze the pan with 0.25 cup of chicken broth, stirring to incorporate the browned bits from the pan.

Add 5 minced garlic cloves to the onions and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Transfer the cooked onions to a bowl and set aside.

Season the 3 boneless chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and French herb blend on both sides.

Transfer the seasoned chicken breasts to a greased baking dish (buttered).

Evenly distribute the cooked onions over the chicken breasts.

Sprinkle 1.5 cups of fresh mozzarella cheese evenly over the onions and chicken.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, checking that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

After baking, broil the casserole for about 3 minutes to brown the cheese on top.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
