Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into pieces
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 small uncooked vidalia onion cut in half lengthwise, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

- 2 tsp salted butter
- 3/4 tsp table salt divided
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground, divided
Instructions

- 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.
