I had lunch here with my buddy Ryan Ivey, and the tacos were so damn good that I carried Jill and Ava there for dinner that night! This place is awesome and super hip.
2 cups (4 oz.) FRENCH’S® Original or Cheddar French Fried Onions
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
4 (5 oz.) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 egg, beaten
Place French Fried Onions and flour into plastic bag. Lightly crush with hands or with rolling pin. Transfer to pie plate or waxed paper.
Dip chicken into egg; then coat with onion crumbs, pressing firmly to adhere. Place chicken on baking sheet.
Bake at 400°F for 20 min. or until no longer pink in center.

2 Sweet Onions [ cut into chunks ]

2 tbsp Water
¼ cup Olive Oil
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 Garlic Cloves [ minced ]
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt

2. Remove any visible fat from the chicken breasts and cut into strips
3. Quarter the onion and separate into individual pieces
4. To create the marinade combine the water, olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic cloves, pepper, and salt and whisk well
5. Place the onions and potatoes in a large zip-top bag and add half of the marinade – add the chicken and the other half of the marinade to a seperate zip-top bag (place both bags in the refrigerator for an hour or overnight, if desired)
6. Grill the chicken, onions, and sweet potatoes on a charcoal or gas grill until chicken reaches 180°F – (the sweet potatoes should be soft and the onions caramelized)
