These were really good! I have to admit I was real skeptical about this. I love French-fried onions & only know to use them on green bean casserole. I was concerned coating them on chicken would be too much, but it turned out perfectly. The only thing I did differently is I needed to double the onions & cheese.

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 2 (6 oz.) containers, or about 3 cups, French-fried onions
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
