Italian breaded chicken with onion rings

The beauty of this chicken dish is that you can easily turn it into a one-pot dinner by adding sliced vegetables. Carrots, zucchini, yellow squash and Japanese eggplant are some of the many veggies you can use – simply slice them together with the onions and layer on the bottom of the pan.

If you don’t have bread crumbs in your pantry, use leftover heels or slices of any type of bread – whole grain, seeded, French – the more stuff it’s got in it, the more flavorful it’ll be. Process bread in a food processor until crumbs are coarsely ground. Store any leftover crumbs in a sealed bag in the freezer.
