Country Lemon Chicken
- 1/3 C flour
- 1 1/2 t dried thyme leaves
- 1 t salt
- 1/2 t pepper
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken tenders
- 5 T + 2 T butter or coconut oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 C lemon juice
- 1 1/2 C chicken broth
- chopped fresh parsley, optional
Combine flour, thyme, salt, and pepper. Dip chicken in flour mixture and brown over medium-high heat in skillet with melted butter. Remove chicken. Discard pan remains. Reduce heat to medium and melt 2 T butter; cook onion, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and cook 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Return chicken to skillet and simmer uncovered until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
I serve this with steamed carrots and broccoli over brown rice, which makes a beautiful presentation.
