Tip

Chopped Onion Substitute

When there’s no time to chop onions, onion powder is one option. Substitute 1 tablespoon of onion powder for one medium chopped onion. For the best onion flavor, use frozen chopped onions or dried minced onion (found in the spice aisle). One tablespoon of dried minced onion equals 1/4 cup minced raw onion.

I like this better than barbeque chicken. It's so easy and tastes deliciously different. Plus I always have these ingredients on hand, so it's a fabulous go-to. Try it!

I at first thought how strange. But in the end it was a really good recipe that I would fix again

Don't know what happened but the chicken was chewy. Had a good flavor but probably won't make it again. Will take the leftovers and pressure cook them then shred add cheese and make a wrap.
