Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Crush the dry onion soup mix in its pouch or a bag until it forms fine crumbs, then pour into a shallow dish.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, beat one egg (or two egg whites) with 2 tablespoons of water until frothy.
  4. In a third shallow dish, combine 2/3 cup of dry bread crumbs with the crushed soup mix and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Dip each chicken breast or thigh piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
  6. Press the egg-coated chicken firmly into the soup mix and breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides evenly.
  7. Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Drizzle or brush the chicken lightly with 2 tablespoons of melted margarine or oil to help it brown.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (165ðF internal temperature).
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
