Kim's A-1 Chicken features tender chicken breasts baked in a savory sauce of steak and Worcestershire sauces, lemon juice, and onions, perfect for a flavorful and easy meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small pot, mix and heat water, butter, chopped onion, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice.
- Pour the heated sauce over the chicken breasts.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.
- Serve the chicken over rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, sauté the chopped onion in the butter until translucent before adding the other ingredients. You can substitute the steak sauce with soy sauce for a different taste, or use honey for sweetness. If you prefer, bone-in chicken can be used, but adjust the cooking time accordingly. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables from other chicken recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chicken over a bed of fluffy rice to soak up the savory sauce. Steamed broccoli or a fresh salad pairs nicely for a balanced meal. For an added touch, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. This dish also goes well with crusty bread, allowing you to enjoy every drop of the flavorful sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave it on medium power in short intervals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other cuts of chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use thighs or drumsticks instead of breasts. Just ensure the cooking time is adjusted to ensure the chicken is cooked through. Thighs may require a few extra minutes, while drumsticks typically take longer due to their bone structure.
Is there a way to make this dish spicier?
Absolutely! You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce for a kick. Alternatively, mixing in some hot sauce with the other liquids can also enhance the heat level without overpowering the original flavors.
Can I make this recipe in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the sauce and marinate the chicken a day ahead. Just keep the chicken covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making for an even tastier dish when you finally cook it.
