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 a great dish! So easy to make and so good!

And Sharon I just used the olive oil in the skillet. No need for cooking spray.

This was SUCH a flavorful recipe! It was very easy and quick to make. I served it on a bed of brown basmati brown rice. The sauce was a perfect blend for both the chicken and rice.

The Lemon Thyme Chicken recipe says to spray skillet with cooking spray, but right after that says to cook chicken in oil. Looks like it would be one or the other. Do you need to do both?

This is a wonderful recipe. I made it but instead of chicken I made it with fish - tilapia. Excellent - oh, and I also just sliced my onions - just because I didn't read the recipe carefully enough but that turned out great too.
