Onion Baked Chicken

I don’t know if you are like me, but everytime I make baked chicken it tastes different.  Mainly because I dump my spices on it and just hope for the best.  I loved this recipe because it tells me exactly what and how much to mix so the chicken comes out tasting great everytime!
Onion Baked Chicken
 
1 tbsp. Onion Powder 1/2 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Salt 3 – 3 1/2 lbs. Chicken Parts
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder 1 tbsp. Oil
1/2 tsp. Thyme Leaves, lightly crushed
 

1. Mix onion powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika and thyme in small bowl.  Place chicken in a shallow baking pan.  Brush with oil.  Coat chicken evenly with sesoning mixture (or you can shake it in a ziplock bag).

2. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven 40-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Makes 8 servings.

The abundant wildflowers on The Mound are thanks to The Town of Flower Mound, as well as The Mound Foundation, as they have worked tirelessly to restore the bluebonnets to the front of the Flower Mound over the past three years.

According to Tom Kirwan, of the Native Plant Society of Texas, many more wildflowers are expected to bloom on The Mound this spring.  There are over 125 species of native plants that have been identified and documented in the book, The Flower Mound, Flower Mound, Texas: A History and Field Guide to the Flowers and Grasses by Alton Bowman.  This book is available for purchase at the Circulation Desk of the Town of Flower Mound library.  All proceeds go to the Mound Foundation and their mission to protect and preserve The Flower Mound for our residents.

Yoga for kids is a fun, creative way to develop important gross and fine motor skills.  The use of animated poses and basic stretching promote strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness.  Breathing and visualization techniques teach kids how to focus, relax and develop self-control.

Each session is taught by Mrs. Liza Doll, a former elementary school teacher, and is alive with games, magical journeys and dance.  Using interactive games and animated poses, kids will learn about animals, nature, and basic anatomy.

Your little yogis will improve concentration and focus, stimulate their imagination and help release energy in a fun, safe enviroment.  Yoga is non-competitive and there is no judgement about how a child does a pose or plays a game.  Doing a pose “perfectly” is not a goal.  Yoga nurtures children’s inner-strength, confidence, and self esteem as well as love for one’s self, inside and out.

Join Yogi Kids this summer for one week or all six!

Prices:

  • $30 a week or $85 for a month.
  • Sign up for all 6 weeks and save!  Only $160 per child
  • Sibling Discounts – $160 a month for 2 kids or $300 for all 6 weeks
