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

Super easy to make and delicious for everyone. I used the amount of butter called for and it seemed to work fine though, onions still came out nice and crispy. I used only three chicken breasts instead of four.

Moist and flavorful. I didn't have quite enough fried onions on hand and so replaced about 2 oz. of that with some panko bread crumbs. It turned out great!

I agree with the others. This is a wonderful tasting and very easy to prepare recipe! I have a feeling that it isn't all that healthy, but it is very good. We have it at least once or twice a month.

Both my husband and I love chicken so we make it couple times/week. Came across this recipe and it's absolutely delicious. We make long grain/wild rice and cotttage cheese salad along with it.

Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Sincerely,

Half the butter is all you need.

Too much soaks the french fried onions. Donna
