Recipe Introduction


Here's a great simple, but flavorful way to prepare chicken - can you ever have too many of those?





List of Ingredients



• 4 boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves
  
• 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  
• � teaspoon salt
  
• � teaspoon white pepper
  
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
  
• 1 Tablespoon butter
  
• 1 medium onion, chopped
  
• 1 cup chicken broth
  
• 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
  
• � teaspoon dried thyme
  
• Lemon wedges and chopped parsley, for garnish
  






Instructions



1. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry.
   
2. Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Shake to mix. Add each chicken piece to the bag separately, seal, shake to coat, and then set aside. Save the excess seasoned flour.
   
3. Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a large skillet and add the chicken pieces. Brown on one side; add the remaining Tablespoon of oil and brown the chicken on the other side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
   
4. Add the butter and onion to the skillet and saut� until soft. Sprinkle the reserved seasoned flour over the onion and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the flour is completely incorporated.
   
5. Stir in the broth, 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
   
6. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and opaque throughout.
   
7. Before serving, stir the remaining Tablespoon of lemon juice into the sauce in the skillet. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.
