Cheesy Ranch Chicken Rice by @cookinginthemidwest
Chicken and rice cooked in a creamy cheese sauce and topped with bacon.
Onions are one of the first ingredients that hit the pan when dinner starts. A few minutes of cooking softens them and brings out their sweetness, which quietly builds flavor in the rest of the meal.
Slice onions thin if you want them to soften quickly. Thicker pieces take longer but hold more texture.
Cooking onions slowly over medium heat brings out their natural sweetness. The longer they cook, the deeper the flavor gets.
If the pan starts to dry out while cooking onions, add a small splash of water or oil to keep them from burning.
Onions are often cooked first so they can build flavor before other ingredients go into the pan.
