Method

1. Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.
2. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour to coat completely. Reserve the leftover flour.
3. Warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the chicken and brown on one side, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the remaining oil, turn the chicken, and brown well on the other side, about 5 minutes longer.
6. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
7. Add the butter to the skillet. When it melts, add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
8. Stir in the reserved seasoned flour and cook, stirring, until completely incorporated, about 1 minute.
9. Add the broth, 3 tablespoons lemon juice and the thyme.
10. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
11. Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes.

Good to know

• The original steps don't say where the parsley goes; sprinkling it over the finished dish is a common choice.
