Onion is an ingredient that should never be missing from a hearty meal. It has an unmistakable taste that gives our food some extra zing. But today’s recipe needs more than “just a few onions” for the best flavors and aromas. So how are we going to do that? With bacon and barbecue sauce, of course!
Baked Onions With Chicken
Equipment
- Skewer
Ingredients
- 450 g cooked chicken breast
- 3-4 Spanish onions
- some oil for frying
- 100 ml ketchup
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp honey
- 75 g grated mozzarella
- 2 green onions, in rings
- 12 strips of bacon
- 100 ml barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Shred the chicken breasts into small pieces. Cut into the onions and remove their outer rings. You'll need these later.
- Dice the inside of the onions and lightly sauté them in some oil. Add the ketchup, paprika, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and honey, and mix everything together.
- Add the sauce to the shredded chicken breast with the mozzarella and green onions.
- Use your hands to shape the mixture into balls and press them into the onion rings. Wrap each onion with two strips of bacon in the shape of a cross. The strips of bacon need to cover the openings in the onion rings. Use a skewer to hold the bacon in place.
- Spread barbecue sauce on the onions and bake them at 355°F for 20 minutes.
