Crispy Onion Chicken
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

This was SO easy and delicious as well.
Here is my question. I also have a recipe titled Tasty Onion Chicken in my recipe box. It is exactly as this one. But written by a lady named Jennifer from Thorndale, Texas. This one is entered by a totally different person. I printed this one in 2018 What the heck is going on here?
The picky eaters in my house loved this one. I used large chicken breasts, so next time I'll increase the amount of onions. Also used prepared honey mustard instead of ground mustard.
We really enjoyed this recipe. Full disclosure, I used pork chops because that’s what I had on hand, and they were delicious. Will definitely make this again. VFE
Crust was crispy and had a great flavor, Chicken was very tender.
What do you do about the soggy bottom?
Everyone loved it!
I made this recipe for dinner tonight, using the new Caramelized Onion flavor French-fried onions. They are a bit sweeter than the regular onion topping, but the mustard in the butter mixture balanced that out nicely. It came together nicely, and the topping did stick to the chicken. Don't worry about the amount of butter -- it seemed that any extra remelted and drained off the chicken.
I halved the breasts, used half the butter called for, twice the onions called for and after they were done put them on a rack over the pan I cooked them in, spooned the juices on them and let them rest in the oven at 200 for a few minutes to let them crisp up. Excellent. :)
This is one of the best ways to fix chicken!! The French-fried onions complement the chicken very nicely!! It's a keeper!!
