Recipe News: Make Your Easter Entertaining Easier With These Recipes

This Easter, impress your friends and family with a delicious dinner buffet that allows you to entertain with ease so you can spend more time with your guests and less time in the kitchen. With a host of recipes from the French's® test kitchens, you can prepare simple appetizers like Crunchy Coconut Shrimp and Crispy Onion Veggies as well as main dishes like Crunchy Onion Chicken and Baked Penne and Ham. Many of these simple-to-prepare recipes take only ten minutes to prepare and cook in thirty minutes or less. The secret: the experts in the test kitchen have discovered that crushed French's French Fried Onions can be used as a delicious coating for a variety of ingredients like chicken, pork, vegetables and fish; and while the coating creates a crispy, crunchy exterior it also locks in natural juices to maintain a moist, tender interior. In addition to using French's French Fried Onions at holiday time, try them for quick everyday recipes to make meal times easier. This simple coating technique can be expanded to incorporate regional and ethnic flavor preferences by adding customized herbs and spices, for example, the basic recipe for Crunchy Onion Chicken becomes Mexican Chicken with the simple addition of chili powder and chopped fresh cilantro to the crushed French Fried Onions or turn a typical weeknight into a "trip" to Thailand by adding some toasted coconut and fresh basil to your coating mixture – use your culinary imagination and every day meals just became exciting again.
