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

Good recipe. I added sauteed mushrooms to the dish. The tang of the lemon was prefect on rice.

If you don't like the flavor of thyme, you will not like this. My husband and I did not care for this at all.
