The sweet onions deliciously balance the acidity of the vinegar sauce. Sautéed or steamed spinach would be great on the side.

Ingredients

3 Tbsp all purpose flour

3/4 tsp table salt, divided

1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, divided

1 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), four 4 oz pieces

2 tsp olive oil

1 small uncooked vidalia onion(s), cut in half lengthwise, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)

1 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth

2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped, or less to taste

2 tsp salted butter

Instructions

On a plate, combine flour, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge chicken in flour mixture and turn to coat; shake off any excess.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, flipping once, until golden and cooked through, about 7 minutes; remove to a serving plate and cover to keep warm.
Add onion to skillet; sauté over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add broth, vinegar, thyme and remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring often, until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and stir in butter until melted; spoon sauce over chicken. Yields 1 chicken breast and about 1/4 cup onion sauce per serving.

Notes

Don't have fresh thyme? Use 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme instead.

I tried this recipe last night and it was really delicious! My husband and daughter thought it was good as well. I think the sauce would be wonderful with roasted turkey too.

I added sliced fresh mushrooms like another member suggested. I also only used one Tbsp. of the Balsamic vinegar and it came out fine for my taste. Not too tangy. And only because I was almost out of it, I used only about a quarter of the Thyme that it called for. This is one I'll make again. Yummy!
