Garlic Girl Iceberg Lettuce Salad thanks to Baked by Melissa

  

This salad is SO yummy. I've been watching Melissa's reels on Facebook (I'm not a TikTok girl). In fact I have been watching Reels like it's my job as a means of distracting myself from grief.  I am the queen of disassociation after nine months of this, or is it three years? Five? I digress. 

 Make this salad and enjoy especially if you like garlic, but feel free to use less garlic or cut the recipe in half if it's just for you.

French Onion Chicken Skillet thanks to Hannaford

 This recipe was a nice find, but we doubled to increased the skillet ingredients to make the chicken more saucy. 

 Ingredients

• 1 ¼ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• ½ tsp dried thyme
• 1 ¼ cup water
• 1 ½ tsp chicken broth base
• 4 oz Swiss cheese, grated
• 1 loaf French bread

Process

1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Toss with the flour to coat.
2. Meanwhile, in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil on medium-high. Add chicken and cook 5 min. per side, until browned. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to skillet, along with the onions and thyme. Cook 7–8 min., until onions are golden, stirring often. Meanwhile, microwave the water until very hot. Stir in the chicken base until dissolved.
4. To skillet, stir in the water–chicken base mixture. Return chicken to skillet. Spoon liquid and onions over chicken. Sprinkle cheese on top. Transfer to oven and bake 15 min., until cheese melts and chicken is cooked through. Serve with the bread.

Enjoy!
