Buttered onions are a great addition to the lemon sauce of this easy supper. Best of all, it takes only a few minutes to brown the lightly breaded chicken on the stove top. -Kay Shimonek of Corsicana, Texas

This is one of my family's favorite dishes! We love the lemon sauce and put it over rice! Add green beans or broccoli as a side and it's a wonderful well balanced meal!

Next time I will use less thyme. It was overpowering to me, but everyone else said it seemed fine. Just a ok dish, not fantastic

Very easy to make, and tastes delicious! The onion was a great additon to the lemon/chicken broth sauce.

I've made this a few times. My husband and I enjoy it, but the kids just won't eat it because of all the onion and lemon. You can add too much lemon to the dish as well.

Wonderful recipe, so simple. I flatten chicken to save some cooking time, great flavoer! I made the side dish of Rice with Summer Squash with it and it was a perfect combo!!

Very tasty dish! I pounded my chicken flat before flouring and cooking it. This made it very tender and cooked much faster. I'm excited to have another way to make chicken!

I have made this many times and my family loves it. It is delicious and also freezes well. I usually double the recipe and put one in the freezer.
