This 30-minute chicken dinner will quickly become a family favorite.
I debated featuring this recipe because it’s not the prettiest dish. But I love anything with caramelized onions. Sadly, I have children that take after me and they’ve been known to eat up all the onions before I get a chance to beat them to it. This dish is so quick to prepare, so it’s a great supper for a weekday night. Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or julienned carrots to the pan, once the chicken is white and just about cooked through.
