Chicken & Onions



This is an incredibly easy meal to throw in a bag and marinate early in the day and then poor into a baking dish and cook in time for dinner.  I use chicken thighs because we are a dark meat family but this could easily be done with chicken breasts or even pork tenderloin.  To complete the meal we had some roast potatoes and green beans!

Serves 6

2 Onions, peeled and quartered
1-1/2 to 2 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/3 Cup Stone Ground or Dijon Mustard
1 Tsp Dried Thyme

Place all of the ingredients in a Ziploc bag and mix well so onions and chicken are coated with mustard and thyme.  Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to marinate.

When ready to cook, pour all the contents of the bag into a baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
