Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 quart plus 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper
1 red onion, julienne, plus 1/2 red onion, minced
1/4 pound bacon, diced
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 orange, juiced
1 lemon, juiced
1 lime, juiced
Two 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts or cutlets
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Make the fried onions: Heat up to 1 quart of vegetable oil (2 to 3 inches deep) in a deep saute pan or skillet until it reaches about 350 degrees F.
  • Put the flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the julienne onions and toss to coat. In batches, being careful not to crowd, add the onions to the hot oil to fry, making sure to lightly shake off excess flour prior to putting them in. When they are golden brown but not dark brown, 3 to 4 minutes per batch, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the onions to paper towels. When the onions are done, give them a rough chop and set aside.
  • Add the bacon and minced red onion to a nonstick saute pan and cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar, 2 cups water and the tomato puree and reduce the mixture until it thickens, another 5 to 8 minutes. Add all the citrus juices and stir well to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Fill one shallow bowl with the beaten egg and milk, and fill a second with the fried onions. Individually, dip the chicken breasts into the egg, then press into the fried onion. Place the chicken breasts in the heated skillet and cook until golden, about 10 minutes per side, carefully turning once.
  • Pour the glaze over the breasts to serve. It goes great with rice or mashed potatoes.

ONION CRUSTED CHICKEN

Quick and easy

Provided by Lonna Weidemann

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 whole whole rotisserie chicken
3/4 c mayonnaise
1 pkg knorr french onion recipe mix pack

Steps:

  • 1. I just love this recipe and you can use fresh chicken breast also, I just like the quick of this one. Remove as many large pieces off the chicken as you can. I removed about 6 and the last one was a lot of little pieces I combined together.
  • 2. Using a spatula, and coat each side of chicken with mayonnaise. Generously. Then roll and cost in French onion soup mix (pouring the package on a paper plate) first. Place chicken lightly greased baking pan.
  • 3. Bake at 350 for 20 min. TIP: you could use any French onion mix but I believe what makes this dish so good is the Knorr mix brand.

Tips:

  • Use a cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan for the chicken to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onions to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
  • Press the onions into the chicken breasts firmly to ensure they adhere and form a crispy crust.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat to prevent the onions from burning and to ensure the chicken cooks through without drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it has reached a safe 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the heat.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute and prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Onion-crusted chicken is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The crispy onion crust adds a delicious crunch and savory flavor to the chicken, while the chicken remains juicy and tender.
