For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Adjust baking time accordingly. If you don't have fresh rosemary and thyme, dried herbs can be substituted. Use about 1 teaspoon of each. Feel free to experiment with other cheeses! Fontina, provolone, or even a sharp cheddar would be delicious. Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.

02
Step
8 mins
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. This creates a flavorful crust. (Cook time: 8 minutes)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced green onions in the dish. Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Step
3 mins
In a small bowl, combine the coarse-grained mustard, chopped fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme. Brush this aromatic mixture generously over the seared chicken breasts. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Nestle the mustard-herb coated chicken breasts atop the bed of vegetables in the baking dish. Generously cover the chicken with shredded Gruyère cheese. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
06
Step
30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (Bake time: 30 minutes)

Jun 28, 2025I was a bit skeptical about the mustard, but it adds such a nice tang. I used parmesan cheese because that's what I had on hand, and it turned out great!
