This Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Onion Soup Mix Chicken turns simple pantry staples into a rich, savory, bistro-style meal. Mixing the onion soup blend with olive oil creates a paste that sticks perfectly to the chicken, locking in flavor. A hot cast iron skillet gives the bottoms a quick sear, while the oven crisps the skin to golden perfection.
