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.

I love lasagna and have had it so many different ways. I wanted to showcase my aunt Carol Brown's recipe, because she has always been a gourmet cook. I remember as a young child all the different recipes she would make and how amazed I was watching her. She would teach me how to decorate cakes and make those beautiful little roses to go on top of the cake. I remember being in love with her curried beef...with the little flame glowing underneath the silver carrif dish holding the curry. So many memories...crab dip, white salad, cherry soup, tetrozzine, soups, cakes, etc.. you name it...she could cook it and make it look like a million bucks. My brother and I use to always say...."Lifestyles of the rich and famous"....talking about her cooking and table settings! Oh....and don't forget the ever famous Carbonado....a Fall stew served inside a pumpkin. I will be making that soon and posting the recipe, because it is simply beautiful. Well...I think you should all have a glimpse of what my aunt Carol's cooking was and is like. Enjoy!
