Ingredients
- 2/3 cup low sodium beef broth

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a liquid measuring cup or mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, vinegar, thyme, garlic pepper and salt. Set aside.

- Top with the caramelized onions and sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the chicken registers at 160°F.
