Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat together the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the fresh thyme. Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat oven to [wprm-temperature value="400" unit="F"].
Add the balsamic vinegar and ½ cup of chicken stock. Let the mixture reduce for a few minutes until it becomes thick and jammy.
To a 9x13 baking dish, add the remaining ¼ cup of chicken stock and then the seasoned chicken breasts.
Top chicken breasts with French onion mixture, shredded Gruyere cheese, and provolone cheese slices.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of [wprm-temperature value="165" unit="F"]. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
