A Simple Chicken Recipe - Caramelized Onion Lime Chicken

This recipe was inspired by my current kick "caramelized onions" and a trip to the grocery store. As my wife and I cruised the local grocery store aisles, I spotted a bargain on limes (3 for a buck). So we bought 3. After getting back home I started thinking about how I could make something simple from the lime, chicken tenders and your guessed it "caramelized onions. The result was a very delicious chicken dish, which when accompanied by cole slaw and a baked potato makes a great meal for 2. The recipe is shown below, complete with the recipe for making the caramelized onion

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken tenders, about 3 oz

1 lime, juiced and zested

1/2 cup caramelized onion (recipe below)

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1 - Make the caramelized onions using the recipe below, then deglaze the skillet with

the lime juice, then add the zest, and mix well.

2 - puree' the mixture in a food processor or blender

.

3 - Place the chicken tenders in the bottom of the same skillet (must be oven proof).

4 - Top with the puree'd caramelized onion, lime juice/zest mix.

5 = Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. (until chicken is done through)

Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Caramelized Onions:

1 - Peel 1medium yellow onion, cut off the ends and cut in half (top to bottom)

2 -Slice thinly and separate the thin strips formed by cutting .

3 - Heat a non-stick skillet and add 2 tbsp olive oil.

4 - When skillet is very hot but not smoking, add onions and turn heat down to low.

5 - Stir to coat all onion strips, and continue to cook for 20-30 minutes stirring frequently

to avoid burning.

6 - When caramelized the onions should be a golden brown color when they are done. :

Note: We had this dish for supper this evening and to me (remember I'm prejudiced because I cooked it) it was like going to heaven without having to die first. :

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! - Frank
