My family loves chicken...and I'm always trying new ways to prepare it. This golden brown chicken with its crunchy french-fried onion coating is great with rice, baked potatoes, macaroni salad or potato salad. -Charlotte Smith, McDonald, Pennsylvania

The flavor and tenderness of the chicken is excellent. I wish there was a way to get the same results with less butter. It is extremely greasy.

This chicken was fabulous. I have company for dinner last night and decided to try this recipe. It was a big hit and I received tons of compliments. Delish!!!

LOVED this recipe! It was extremely easy and was super moist & flavorful. I didn't have ground mustard so I used about a tablespoon of Dijon. Also used chicken tenders instead of breasts. It was fantastic-even as left overs the next day!

Definitely not as good as I wanted it to be. Way, way, way too much butter - made it slimy and the onions mushy. If I made it again, I would not pour the leftover dipping sauce on it.

Big hit here and extremely easy to put together. I used half the butter and thin sliced the chicken.

Very moist, flavorful, and easy to make. The only change I might make in the future is less butter.

My family LOVES this. I've tried a few other variations, but this is The One!

This chicken was delicious, so moist and good. I do think I'd cut down on the butter the next time, maybe using only 4 - 6 tablespoons, and maybe use fewer onions, too.

This recipe is a keeper. It is so delicious, easy to fix, and never fail. It is so good that I might just toss all my other chicken recipes and just stick with this one.
