A delightful chicken recipe with a tangy lemon and thyme sauce, perfect for a comforting meal.
Season the chicken breasts with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Dredge the chicken in flour and add it to the pan. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked, then set aside.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
In the same pan, add sliced red onion and cook until softened and aromatic.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from burning.
Deglaze the pan with white wine and chicken broth, then add the juice of one lemon. Cook until the sauce reduces slightly.
Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the flavorful bits into the sauce.
Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the butter until the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Whisking the butter off heat ensures a creamy sauce.
Place the cooked chicken on a serving platter and pour the sauce over it. Serve immediately.
Garnish with fresh thyme or lemon slices for a beautiful presentation.
