Baked Chicken with Onions

Here’s my disclaimer. i periodically make the same recipe twice; I tend more to adjust it every time I make it so be prepared for a number of possible variations. Which means this is a good basic baked chicken recipe you can make your own. And from personal experience, I suggest you write down the ingredient combinations as you try them or you may never be able to duplicate the recipe. Trust me.

On a positive note, I have been making this chicken recipe for several decades. As I vaguely recall, there was a Thanksgiving without a turkey so we baked a chicken instead. We started by adding yellow onions, celery and in this case, fresh rosemary, and a new favorite family dish was born.

Now you can make this a number of ways. I usually use yellow onions instead of red ones but I only currently had red onions. Both different kinds of onions work quite nicely, yellow onions are more savory than red. Celery is a staple but you can add other vegetables including potatoes, carrots and green beans. Sometimes I skip the fresh garlic, or double it, and I inevitably forget to add the salt. It still comes out delicious and quite versatile for the rest of the week.

And how nice the house smells when this is baking!
