French's Crispy Onion Chicken

2 c. French's crispy onions
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 egg, beaten

Crush the crispy onions in a gallon plastic bag. Dip chicken in egg. Coat in crushed onion crumbs. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center.

OK...I forgot to take a picture of this recipe, but trust me...this is a keeper. This recipe is simple...3 things...love it! Plus...my husband and kiddos loved this. This is a great twist on what to do with chicken. You can also use this for fish or pork chops. I love these onions on green bean casserole and I am happy to have more reasons to use these tasty onions! Also...they have a website...www.frenchsfoods.com for more recipes. Please enjoy this simple, quick and delicious meal.

Old Fashioned Bread Pudding

6 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Cinnamon, sprinkle over top
3 slices bread, broken into pieces (better with day old bread)
1/4 tsp. salt
3 c. milk, scalded

Combine eggs, salt and sugar. Add scalded milk and vanilla slowly. Line baking pan with bread, pour in filling over bread and sprinkle with cinnamon. Put in pan of water to bake. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce to 325 degrees and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until knife inserted comes out clean.

So here's the thing...what's better and more comforting than warm bread pudding. This recipe is great to use with those day old pieces of bread that you're ready to feed the ducks! haha :) One bite and all your troubles will be mended.*
