Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet; cook and stir the onion in the butter until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar and cook until the sugar completely melts, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
- Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour; shake off the excess flour and then dip the chicken in the egg and water mixture.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook the chicken in the hot oil until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
- Place 2 of the chicken breast halves in the bottom of a baking dish. Top each with about half the brie and half the caramelized onions. Lie the remaining chicken breast halves atop the brie and onions.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
- While the chicken bakes, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Allow the butter to brown slightly before adding the vermouth; bring to a simmer and allow to cook until the liquid reduces by about half. Season with the thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir the arrowroot into the mixture to thicken. Serve the sauce over the chicken.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
- Season Your Chicken Generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more juicy.
- Use a Good Quality Brie Cheese: The type of brie cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a brie that is creamy and flavorful, with a slightly nutty taste.
- Caramelize the Onions Slowly: Take your time caramelizing the onions. This process can take up to 30 minutes, but it's worth it for the delicious, sweet flavor that the caramelized onions will add to the dish.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breasts are very easy to overcook, so be careful not to cook them for too long. The chicken should be cooked through, but it should still be juicy and tender.
