My mother and I started making this delicious crunchy blackened chicken when I came across the recipe in one of my culinary labs at college. The shortcut ingredients make it simple as can be to whip up but also give it a huge pop of flavor that everyone loves. If your family is made up of chicken lovers like mine is, you may find yourself looking for something new and different to do with it – this dish is what you’ve been looking for! 

I hope you’ve carved out some time to enjoy this summer. We started school a couple of weeks ago and we’re now homeschooling ninth grade. Where has the time gone? Brady is in his sophomore year at UNA as a film and communications major. He’s been very busy producing videos for a local film company, working as a videographer for the university, and doing contract video and photography work on the side. It’s good seeing your young adult taking full advantage of their opportunities. Ricky and I are still very much enjoying our Bible studies and even with all of our work we still manage to spend a few hours each day working together on that. As my Facebook Fellowship group finishes up reading the entire Bible in one year, I’m really looking forward to us starting again October 2. We will have a little over 11,000 members when we begin again. How exciting! We have a great community of folks and really enjoy studying together. If you’d like more information, you can click here. If you’re reading this after October, membership may have closed already but you can request to join and you’ll be one of the first ones in when it opens up again next year. 

We are looking forward to the fall and temperatures have already started creeping down on the thermometer here in Alabama so that means afternoons on the back porch! Do y’all have any fall plans? I’d love to hear about them in the comments. You inspire me! Now, let me show you how easy it is to make this chicken!

You’ll need: French fried onions, chili powder, cumin, salt, eggs, boneless skinless chicken breasts, and some shredded cheese. 

My biggest problem with this recipe is I always remember how much I love eating French fried onions. I try to remember to buy double whenever I make this because I know I’m going to snack on some!

Place your French fried onions in a zipper seal bag and crush them.

You can use a rolling pin or meat mallet, your hands, or even the back of a spoon.

Stir crushed French fried onions together with seasonings in a shallow bowl you can dip chicken in. 

Beat eggs and place in a shallow dish. 

Dip each piece of chicken first in egg on both sides

Then dip in both sides in coating mixture. 

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add coated chicken to heated oil. 

Cook this about 4-5 minutes on each side, trying not to turn but once or twice if need be, until no longer pink in the center. 

Once done, top with cheese and leave just long enough for cheese to melt. 

Yum!!! This smells so good and tastes even better. The chicken is nice and juicy inside the crunchy coating!

Crunchy Blackened Chicken is perfect served with your favorite side.

This is also good as the centerpiece to a delicious salad!
