Description
This dish is a nod to sun-soaked Greek afternoons—simple, clean, and full of zest. I remember the first time making it for a family dinner, the aroma of herbs and lemon filling the kitchen had everyone asking for seconds. It’s healthy, hands-off, and always a crowd-pleaser.

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup chicken broth
Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tbsp)
1 tbsp olive oil

1½ tsp dried thyme
1 tsp fine sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
