Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cups French's crispy fried onions
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place the French's crispy fried onions in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and crush the onions with a rolling pin or your hands until they resemble coarse crumbs. Transfer the crushed onions to a shallow bowl.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 4
In a third shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour to coat evenly, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow any excess to drip off.
Step 7
Press the egg-coated chicken into the crushed onions, pressing gently to ensure the onions adhere to the surface. Turn the chicken to coat both sides evenly.
Step 8
Place the prepared chicken breasts on the lined or greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Step 9
Spray the top of the coated chicken lightly with cooking spray (if desired) to enhance crispiness and browning.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your French's Crunchy Onion Chicken with your favorite sides!
