I found this recipe many years ago when my children were toddlers. I've changed it a little over the years to make it my own. Everyone in my family just loves it!
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
4 lemon slices
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
hot cooked rice, optional
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, combine flour and pepper; dredge the chicken. Set remaining flour mixture aside. In a skillet, brown chicken in oil; transfer to an ungreased 9-in. square baking dish.
2. In a saucepan, saute onion in butter. Add reserved flour mixture; stir to form a thick paste. Gradually add broth, lemon juice, basil and thyme; mix well. Bring to boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Pour over the chicken. Top each half with a lemon slice. Sprinkle parsley. Cover and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until the juices run clear. Serve over rice if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
