Lemon Thyme Chicken

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied into halves (4 pieces total)
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1½ tbsp. olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, minced
• ½ cup dry white wine
• ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 3 tbsp. butter

Directions:

Season both sides of the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.  Place the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, shaking off the excess.  In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.  Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.  Remove the chicken pieces to a plate, tent with foil, and set aside.

• Add the garlic and thyme leaves to the pan and saute just until fragrant, about 1 minute.  (If necessary, add an additional small drizzle of oil.)  Off the heat, add the wine to the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.  Return the pan to the heat and bring the liquid to a simmer.  Stir in the chicken broth.  Reduce until the sauce has thickened, about 4-5 minutes.  Add the lemon juice to the pan.  Add in the butter and whisk until completely melted.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Serve immediately, spooning the sauce over the chicken.

Serves 2-4
