Ingredients (serves 3–4)

• 1–1.5 lbs mini onions (pearl onions or small sweet onions, peeled) or buy frozen bags

• 6 tbsp butter, melted

• 1/4 cup chicken bone broth

• 1–2 tbsp Cajun seasoning or Old Bay-style seasoning or both

• 2-3 sausages, cut into 2 in pieces

• 1-2 cooked chicken breasts, cut into strips or diced

Instructions

1. Prep the onions

• If using pearl onions, blanch briefly (1–2 min) to make peeling easier.

• Trim ends and remove skins.

2. Parboil (optional but recommended)

• Boil onions for 8–10 minutes until just tender.

3. Season

• Drain and toss onions in a bowl with melted butter, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Roast or air fry

• Oven: 400°F for 25–30 minutes

• Air fryer: 375°F for 12–15 minutes

• Shake or stir halfway through

5. Finish with extra lemon juice and toss again so they’re glossy and coated
