Lemon Onion Chicken



One of my man's most favorite dinner's! This recipe was originally made for a whole chicken, but I decided to switch it up that way it could be a weeknight meal that is ready in no time at all. The lemons and onions, along with the juice of the chicken, create this great sauce that is perfect over a pile of mashed potatoes on the side.

What you'll need:

Some Chicken, as long as the skin is on it. No Boneless Skinless here! I like to use a package of thighs this recipe would work for about 4-8 pieces of chicken.
3 Lemons, quartered
2 Yellow Onions, sliced
Minced Garlic, a spoonful
Oil, olive is best
Salt and Pepper

1. In a nice sized baking dish, say a 13x9, throw the Onions, Lemons, and Garlic in the bottom. Drizzle with a generous amount of Olive oil and add Salt and Pepper.

2. Toss this mixture with your hands to make sure all is coated with the Olive Oil. Spread in an even layer on in the dish.

3. Pat the Chicken dry with a paper towel and place the Chicken on top of the Lemons and Onions. Drizzle more Olive Oil over the Chicken and add Salt and Pepper to the Chicken.

4. Bake at 400 for 30 mins or so until the Chicken is brown on top and the juices inside run clear. You should reach in halfway through and stir the Onion mixture to make sure they don't burn. Cooking times will vary depending on the Chicken you are using.

5. Serve Chicken with the sauce, and eat the Onions, they will be sweet and delicious.

Enjoy!

Chocolate Fudge Sauce


This is my Grandma Janie's recipe for the best ever Chocolate Fudge Sauce. Easy to make, and so divine! Serve it over ice cream, brownie's, cheesecake, or anything really. I think this sauce would be good in absolutely anything!

1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Butter
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 large can Evaporated Milk
Vanilla

1. Cook over low heat until thickened stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp vanilla.

And that's it!
