Ingredients:

🌰 2 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch rings
🍚 1 cup all-purpose flour
🥛 1 cup buttermilk
🍞 1 cup breadcrumbs
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧂 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Peel the onions and cut them into 1/2-inch rings. Separate the rings and set aside. In a bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dredge mixture.

Dip each onion ring into the buttermilk, ensuring it is fully coated. Coat the buttermilk-soaked onion ring with the dredge mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Ham and Cheese Croissant Recipe 🧀🥐

Craving something delicious and easy for breakfast or lunch? These Ham and Cheese Croissants are a perfect mix of buttery, flaky croissant and melty cheese with savory ham – comfort food at its finest! 🍴

Ingredients:

4 fresh croissants 🥐
4 slices of ham 🍖
4 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or your favorite type) 🧀
1 tbsp butter (optional for extra crispiness) 🧈
Fresh thyme or parsley (for garnish) 🌿
Dijon mustard or honey mustard (for dipping) 🍯
Instructions:

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) for a warm and crispy result.

Prepare the croissants: Slice the croissants in half horizontally, but don’t cut all the way through. Leave the top attached so the filling stays in place.

Assemble the croissants: Place a slice of ham on the bottom of each croissant, then add a slice of cheese on top. Feel free to add an extra slice of cheese for more gooey goodness!

Toast the croissants: Place the assembled croissants on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If you like a crispier croissant, you can spread a thin layer of butter on the outside before baking. Pop them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the croissants are golden and the cheese is melted.

Serve: Once baked, remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley to give it that extra pop. Serve with Dijon or honey mustard for dipping.

Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack! 😍

🍗 Creamy Mustard Chicken with Crispy French Fries Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Creamy Mustard Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 🍗
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
1 tbsp butter 🧈
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1/2 cup Dijon mustard 🍯
1/2 cup heavy cream 🥛
1/2 cup chicken broth 🍖
1 tsp dried thyme 🌿
1 tsp lemon juice 🍋
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) 🌿
For the Crispy French Fries:
4 large russet potatoes 🥔
2 tbsp olive oil 🫒
Salt, to taste 🧂
1/2 tsp garlic powder 🧄
1/2 tsp paprika 🌶️
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste ⚫
Instructions:
1. Make the Crispy French Fries:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin, even strips to make fries.
In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
2. Prepare the Creamy Mustard Chicken:
While the fries are baking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Pour in the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the dried thyme and bring the sauce to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Add the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes.
Squeeze in a little lemon juice for brightness and taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
3. Serve:
Plate the Creamy Mustard Chicken alongside the Crispy French Fries. Spoon the creamy mustard sauce over the chicken and fries for extra flavor.
Serve with a side salad or steamed veggies for a well-rounded meal!
Pro Tips:
For Extra Crispy Fries: If you want your fries extra crispy, soak the potato strips in water for 30 minutes before baking. This removes excess starch and helps them crisp up better.
Spicy Mustard Chicken: If you like a bit of heat, add a teaspoon of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
Make It a One-Pan Meal: You can cook the chicken and fries together in the same oven if you have a large enough baking sheet, making this an even easier meal to prepare!
Creamy Mustard Chicken with Crispy French Fries is sure to be a hit at your dinner table—tender chicken with a creamy, tangy sauce paired with crispy fries for the perfect bite! What’s your favorite sauce to pair with chicken?

Use tongs or a large spoon to evenly distribute the sauce.
