It’s no secret that I love chicken dishes. I’ve also made it very clear that my husband does not share my enthusiasm. *sigh* So whenever I can put together a chicken dish that does not involve barbecue sauce (yes, hubby’s favorite way to enjoy chicken aside from a stir fry) and hubby will eat it, I know I have a winner. This chicken recipe is actually an adaptation of one using balsamic (which I was out of), so I substituted rice vinegar, which gave it a mellower flavor, which I’m sure hubby appreciated. ;)
This was wonderful, though hubby opted to skip the onion sauce. I loved the sauce topping on my chicken, the flavor was great but not overbearing. Yum!
Savory Chicken with Onion Thyme Sauce
adapted from Balsamic Chicken and Thyme
1/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
4 skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, halved & sliced thin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper on a plate. Add chicken; turn to coat. Shake off excess.
In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning once, 10 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate; cover to keep warm.
Add onion to skillet and sauté 1 to 2 minutes until lightly browned. Add garlic and cook another minute or two. Add broth, vinegar, thyme and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, 7-10 minutes or until onions are soft and sauce is syrupy.

Perfect…as is. I love the onion and thyme combo. Great recipe!
This looks fantastic! A quick and tasty way to dress up chicken for sure!
Wow, the sauce sounds and looks fabulous. It definitely kicks up an ordinary chicken dish. Great idea.
This looks and sounds amazing. My husband would pass on the sauce and I would heap it on – sounds like we are a lot alike!
I agree with hubby– I am easily bored by chicken, too! But a good sauce will do the trick! I think I will try it with the balsamic vinegar and maybe rosemary? Looks delicious!
This would make a perfect weeknight dinner, Amanda. Quick, but who would know by looking at or tasting it? Chicken is always popular at my house, and this recipe is a great way to use several of the fresh herbs in my fall garden.
Thanks all, this is a really delicious dish. I will be making it again :)
I am with you Amanda, I love chicken. The onion sauce looks great. I for sure need to try this recipe. Chicken with thyme is the perfect combo :) xo
What a great looking dinner. I'm always looking for new chicken recipes, so I'll have to try this one.
I would totally opt out of the onion sauce like your husband, but the meal looks really good. Nice to see a post from you. SU-ing.
I like the chicken variety you cook up Amanda. Chicken is a favourite in our home too, and this one looks good. {BTW Love the line up of Scary crafts on the left. Fabulous}
This recipe looks great. I'm always searching for good-tasting chicken recipes that aren't difficult, and this one sounds like a winner!
