Crunchy Onion Barbecue Chicken

This recipe came through from Tee on recipe challenge just in time for me to be starving and come on to find a quick dinner.  I didn't bother with crushing the onions but it would have made a finer "crust".  This was SO good!!



Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1-1/3 cups french-fried onions, crushed
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)

Directions

  • Place barbecue sauce in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the onions, cheese and pepper. Dip both sides of chicken in barbecue sauce, then one side in onion mixture.
  • Place chicken, crumb side up, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 22-27 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Yield: 4 servings.

We tried it and it was very well received. I think next time I will put in more cheese and less onions. The smell was incredible!
