Crunchy Onion Chicken
Posted in What's for Dinner? on 11/06/2009 06:07 pm by DonnaIt was another “What’s for dinner?” night. Bah. I had one of those days where I just wanted to be lazy but yet dinner duty called and I had chicken breasts ready but not sure what to do with them. Fried Chicken sounded good but I was not feeling like dealing with the extra work and mess so I reached for the bag of French’s Fried Onions. I do admit to pulling out the shake and bake for pork chops so I thought I could do the same with the French Fried Onions. On the back of the bag is a super quick recipe that’s crunchy and delish. Oh, and you can snack on those crispy onions while you are waiting on the chicken to bake. It takes less than 30 minutes for this recipe, unless you decide to photograph the whole process which can then lead to slight time delay!
Ingredients – Quick – I can’t stand the look of raw chicken!
Chicken Breasts
French’s Fried Onions
Egg
That’s it. REAL Simple!
Pour some fried onions into a baggie and smash them up! This particular tool I got way back sometime in the
1990’s at a Crab Shack outside of Corpus Christi, Texas. Ah. Good Times!
Take that egg and scramble it up, pour it into a dish. Throw those breadcrumbs on a plate.
You can also shake the chicken in the baggie if you have that nifty gallon size which I did not use so plate it is!
Dip the chicken in the egg….then the breadcrumbs and place in baking dish.
Bake chicken uncovered in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or
you can…..
Take your camera out of Aperture Priority Mode because you decide you
want to shoot Manually and have this happen!
OR this!
BAD IDEA!
Well, this dinner was a good idea. Very flavorful and crunchy and yummy!
Even better when your husband kicks in and whips up a Caprese Salad! Sliced Beef Steak Tomato, Mozzarella Cheese,
Basil from our garden, splash of Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Salt and Pepper. Another fast super easy dish!
Dinner is served!
This is Mia, who could care less what we eat for dinner and is giving me the evil eye. Perhaps that hat
has something to do with it?
It’s all good.

That chicken looks divine! I love “experimental cooking” – gathering random ingredients on hand to create something new and (hopefully) tasty. The Professor isn’t always so keen on the results, but it’s fun and I have managed to make a few recipes worthy of writing down and repeating.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and for following me! I’ll add you to my list, too.

The chicken looks YUM! And the Caprese salad, you can never go wrong with. I haven’t made that in awhile, thanks! I’ll be putting that on the grocery list!
Now I’m hungry!
