TASTY ONION CHICKEN



Tasty Onion Chicken image

This is a tremendously simple and satisfying dish to make. The mustard/butter combo adds flavor while also helping to seal in moisture. (The french friend onions also add an irresistible "crunch" with every bite!)

Provided by Wendy Gardner

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 c butter, melted
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp mustard, ground
2.8 oz can french fried onions, crushed
4 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless

Steps:

  • 1. In a shallow bowl, combine butter, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Place onions in another shallow bowl.
  • 2. Dip chicken in butter mixture, then coat with onions. Place in a greased 11-in x 7-in x 2-in. baking dish; drizzle with remaining butter mixture.
  • 3. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.

Tips:

  • When selecting onions, choose firm and unblemished ones. Yellow and white onions work well in this recipe, but you can also experiment with sweeter varieties like Vidalia or Walla Walla onions.
  • Thinly slicing the onions allows them to caramelize quickly and evenly. Use a sharp knife or mandoline to achieve thin, uniform slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly and becoming dry. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

This Tasty Onion Chicken is a quick, easy, and delicious weeknight dinner that is sure to please the whole family. With its tender, juicy chicken and caramelized onions, this dish is a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
