My Favorite Chicken Recipes

Hello all!
I know it's been quite a long time since I last blogged, but not much new has happened in my kitchen lately. However I had the idea to post some of my favorite chicken recipes since I have tried A LOT of them. I have scaled these down for 2 people. Here we go ...

Tangy Chicken
2 T olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 T ketchup
2 T soy sauce
1 T sugar
2 T lemon juice
1 t pepper

Heat the oil on medium heat and saute the onion a few minutes. Add the chicken and brown lightly on both sides. Combine remaining ingredients, whisk together and pour over chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover and continue cooking on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, a few minutes per side.

Crunchy Onion Chicken
This is a really simple chicken dish that seems to be really popular, courtesy of the French's Fried Onion package.

1 cup French's Fried Onions
1 egg, beaten
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put fried onion pieces in a plastic bag and mash until coarsely ground. Flatten chicken and season with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in egg, place in bag and coat with crushed onion. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

What did you mean by "you scaled these down for two people?"...I now assume you meant cooking for two, but when I first read it...I thought you meant you had dumbed down the directions so I could follow them! Hope you are doing well and thanks for leading me along in my cooking education! :)

Hi Jess -

To clarify, just meant that the original recipe was for 4 people.
