• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3⁄4 teaspoon table salt, divided
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, divided
• 4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 small uncooked vidalia onions, cut in half lengthwise, thinly sliced or 2 cups vidalia onions
• 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons salted butter

directions

1. On a plate, combine flour, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge chicken in flour mixture and turn to coat; shake off any excess.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, flipping once, until golden and cooked through, about 7 minutes; remove to a serving plate and cover to keep warm.
3. Add onion to skillet; sauté over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add broth, vinegar, thyme and remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring often, until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove skillet from heat and stir in butter until melted; spoon sauce over chicken. Yields 1 chicken breast and about 1/4 cup onion sauce per serving.
5. *** Don't have fresh thyme? Use 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme instead.
