Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onions and garlic and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden, about 30 minutes.
Move the onions to the sides of the pan and add the chicken to the center in a single layer. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until 155 degrees with a meat thermometer.
Top the chicken with the cooked onions and bouillon or soup mix if using. Sprinkle on the cheese. Place the pan under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and the chicken has reached 160. Let rest for a minute and then serve.
