How do I find the marinade recipe and could I add shredded cheese to the onion before applying to chicken??
-
Could I deep fry it instead of baking it? Has anyone else tried that?

Marinated in recipe #191804 & followed this recipe as instructed with very flavorful, crunchy results. I did spray lightly with butter flavored cooking spray to ensure maximum crispness. Thanks for sharing, everyone including my 2 year old complimented this over and over! Served with Brussels sprouts & Parmesan noodles. Thanks for sharing! -
My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. :) I omitted the flour and added garlic powder as a seasoning. This is a great low carb alternative for "breading". This made a nice moist piece of chicken. I had to cook the chicken for 25 minutes after cooking them for 20 minutes and some of the chicken was still pink on the inside. Thank you for the recipe! -

Really Really GOOD! I saw this recipe in a magazine and have been meaning to make it. I am so glad that I finally got around to it! It will be made regularly now! I also had to cook the chicken for about 40-50 minutes. I added garlic powder and Tony Chaceries to the egg for more flavor. I served with green bean casserole (I threw it in with the chicken!)and rice pilaf. Thank you for posting! -
Simple and delicious! I used chicken tenders instead of breats and it turned out great!

I replaced 1/2 cup of the French's onions with 1/2 cup of Panko Bread Crumbs. It added a little extra crunch. I also added seasoning to the flour/onion/bread crumb mixture. Just a couple tablespoons of oregano, sun dried tomato flakes, red pepper flakes (or paprika, either works), dried minced garlic, and season salt. I closed the plastic bag and shook the mixture together to distribute the spices evenly. The flavor was amazing, and that extra crunch gave it pizzazz. -
If you boil broccoli with the chicken that would make it great and taste better and have a little health benefit as well. Have the broccoli separately boiled and then add it to the mix after cooking everything.
