Ingredients

3 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion
1 Tbsp. margarine
1 c. chicken broth
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. thyme
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley (optional)

Preparation

In a plastic bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper; shake to mix.
Add the chicken; shake to coat lightly.
Remove the chicken; reserve the excess seasoned flour.
In a large skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken; brown on one side for about 5 minutes.
Add remaining tablespoon oil.
Turn the chicken; brown well on the second side, about 5 minutes longer.

When the margarine melts, add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
