1. Caramelize the onions: In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
2. Make the sauce: Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for 2 minutes more. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
3. Assemble the casserole: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer the shredded chicken, caramelized onions, and half of the Swiss and Gruyère cheese in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over the layers, then top with the remaining cheese.
4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
