3-Ingredient Crunchy Chicken

chickenblog 046

Yes, you read that right – only 3 ingredients! This chicken is super easy, super cheap, and super delicious! Spring is baseball season, which means long nights at the ballpark, which also means not much time to cook supper. This chicken bakes in the oven, so you can be washing dirty baseball uniforms (and dirty baseball players!) while it cooks.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  1. Honey mustard
  2. French fried onions
  3. 3 boneless-skinless chicken breasts

That’s it! You don’t even need any seasonings – the honey mustard and onions are seasoned enough to give this chicken plenty of flavor.

First, cut each chicken breast into 3 pieces.

Next, pour the french fried onions into a ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin (or anything heavy). This step is also fun for the kids!

For less mess, cover a baking sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray. This leaves your baking sheet clean for one less dish to wash.

Grab 2 shallow dishes and put the crushed onions in one dish and the honey mustard in the other. (I like to save a little of the honey mustard for dipping, so I just use about half of the bottle.)

Dip each chicken piece in the honey mustard first, then roll in the crushed onions to coat. (If you are not a fan of honey mustard, don’t worry – you can’t really taste it once it’s cooked, it just keeps the chicken moist and juicy.)

Place chicken on the greased baking sheet in an even layer.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. It will be juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and much healthier (and easier) than frying!

Make some quick sides while it’s baking and you have a home-cooked meal instead of fast food on ballgame nights.

Thanks y’all!
