My mother-in-law gave me this recipe on a napkin at my bridal shower—and 30 years later, it’s still the only chicken dish my husband asks for

This Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Onion Soup Mix Chicken transforms everyday ingredients into a deeply flavorful, restaurant-style dish. The onion soup mix combined with olive oil forms a thick coating that clings to the chicken, sealing in moisture and taste. Starting in a hot cast iron skillet helps crisp the underside, while the oven finishes it off with perfectly golden, crispy skin.
