Ingredients

  • Nonstick spray
  • 2 large Chicken breast boneless skinless butterflied, see pro tips below
  • 1 tbsp Chicken Seasoning rub
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic slivered
  • 1/4 cup Red onion diced small
  • 1.5 cups Chicken broth
  • 2 tsp Fresh thyme minced, plus sprigs for garnish
  • 2 tsp Lemon juice to taste
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch dissolved in an equal amount of water
  • 4 slices Crusty bread toasted, or bread of your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with nonstick spray.
  • Season the chicken on both sides with chicken seasoning rub. Use more if needed.
  • In the same pan melt the butter on medium low heat. Saute the garlic and onion until soft. Add the broth, thyme, and lemon juice; bring to a simmer to build flavor.
  • Grill the chicken on both sides getting nice char marks to an internal temperature of 160 degrees using a thermometer. Then set aside on a cutting board.
  • Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the lemon as needed. Slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture a little at a time until the liquid becomes a thickened smooth consistency.
    (If the sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little more broth, if too thin, continue simmering until it reduces to a creamy consistency.)
  • Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Serve with bread. Garnish with thyme.

Notes

Pro tips: Butterfly the chicken: Lay the breasts down on a cutting board, using a sharp knife parallel to the cutting board slice the breasts through the middle (carefully) all the way in half.
