Crispy Onion Chicken - Tonia Perl

My one of my best friend in the whole brought this dinner over after I broke my arm back in Feb 2004. It was a hard time in her life, but she still took the time to take care of me and my family. And not only that, but she willing changed Isaac's diapers for me while I had my cast on. Those are the best kind of friends - the ones who answer their door knowing that it's most likely a 13 month old with a stinky diaper. I miss her terribly.

Anyway, this quickly became a family favorite - Cameron requests it all the time. We like it served with mashed potatoes, gravy, and peas.

Crispy Onion Chicken

½ cup Butter, melted
1 Tbs. Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbs. Lemon Juice
1 tsp. Ground Mustard
1-2 Cloves Garlic, minced (or approx. ½ tsp. garlic powder)
¼ tsp. pepper
4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breast Halves
1 (6oz) can Cheddar Flavored* French’s Fried Onions, crushed

Preheat oven to 350°. In a shallow bowl, combine butter, Worcestershire sauce, Lemon Juice, garlic and pepper. Dip chicken in butter mixture, then coat with onions. Place in a greased 9-inch square baking pan. Top with any remaining butter mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.


*I can't find the cheddar flavored onions here in Hawaii, so I have to use orginal flavored, which are OK, but the cheddar ones make the meal - trust me on this.
