Crispy parmesan onion chicken

A tweak on your basic chick parm recipe, courtesy of my new love of onions (thank you, pregnancy).

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. parmesan cheese (or 2 T each: parmesan, romano, and asiago)
small can of French's French fried onions

Combine mayo, pepper and cheese in a mixing bowl.  Slather on top of chicken breasts and press onions into mixture.  Bake loosely tented on a foil-lined sheet tray at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Note: not tenting (i.e. a piece of foil folded in half length-wise and just placed over the top) will cause the onions to burn.  Changes the flavor some, but also not a bad taste.

Breakfast pizza

My mom found a recipe for breakfast pizza while I was in high school, I think.  So I've been eating it for a few years.  But her recipe was, no offense mom, just a little dull.  So, I've played around with it for a while, and I think that I've come up with a good and flavorful twist on it.  This is great to actually have for breakfast, to make and bake ahead for a quick weekday breakfast, or a great and different dinner.  (I'm a big fan of breakfast for dinner.  My husband?  Not so much.)  My favorite breakfast meat is bacon, but this would work with whichever breakfast meat you prefer.  If the meat is raw, cook it before using in the recipe.

9x13 pan, greased
2 tubes crescent rolls
8 large eggs
1/3 c. milk
1 Tbsp. Franks red hot sauce (more if desired)
6 slices bacon, cooked crispy (or 1/2 package of sausage meat, cooked and crumbled)
1/2 medium (sweet) onion, minced
1/2 c. shredded (cheddar) cheese
1 tsp. dill
salt
pepper

Press crescent rolls into bottom of greased 9x13 pan; ensure seams are closed to prevent egg leaking under crust.  Sprinkle onion and bacon on crust.  In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs, milk, and hot sauce.  Gently pour egg mixture over crust.  Sprinkle with dill, salt, pepper and cheese.  Bake uncovered in a 375 degree oven for approximately 25 minutes until crust is golden brown and egg is set in the middle.

Serve hot out of the oven, or allow to cool to room temperature.  Either way, it is delicious!
