Provided by Swanson®

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Swanson®

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut in half lengthwise to make thin cutlets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup flour
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup Swanson® Chicken Stock
¼ cup white wine
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 teaspoons cold butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge both sides of chicken pieces in flour.
  • Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. When oil starts to shimmer, add the chicken. (If the chicken browns too quickly, reduce heat.) Cook, turning as needed, until chicken is browned on both sides, is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 4 or 5 minutes total on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
  • In the same pan, reduce heat to low and add thyme sprigs and cook until aromatic, 1 or 2 minutes. Increase heat to high; pour in Swanson® Chicken Stock and wine. Stir up browned bits to deglaze the pan. Add the chicken bouillon granules and mix well. Reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce reduces and is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
  • Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Add to the pan any accumulated juices from the tented chicken plate. Finish the sauce by whisking in the cold butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon sauce over chicken before serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh thyme and lime: Fresh herbs and citrus fruits add a burst of flavor to this dish. If you can, use fresh thyme and lime instead of dried or bottled.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Before serving, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

Thyme lime chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of thyme, lime, and garlic creates a flavorful marinade that infuses the chicken with a citrusy herb flavor. The chicken is then seared until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
