Tangy Chicken with Salad Dressing and Onion Soup
Tangy chicken with salad dressing and onion soup is the perfect weeknight dinner!
The Backstory: Every time I speak with someone and I tell them that I am gathering recipes, before I even ask them if they want to share with me, I am always offered a pile of chicken recipes. In my mind, I start saying to myself, “Here we go again, more chicken recipes!” But a few that stick out are from my friend Annette whom I’ve known for over 50 years. We are (what I like to refer to anyone that is not a blood relative but feels like family) more like “cousins-in-law”. She actually is a cousin to my brother-in-law. We did not become friendly until she moved to Florida from California. We speak often and see each other occasionally. This women is spirited and a delight to be around.
