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.
