1. In a plastic or paper bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper and shake

3 minutes.

5. Add the broth, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and the thyme and bring the
mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce the haet to medium-low and
cover the skillet. Cook until the chicken is tender and opaque
throughout, about 5 minutes.
7. Divide the chicken among 4 plates. Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of
lemon juice into the sauce in the skillet and pour over the chicken.
serve the chicken with lemon wedges and a sprinkling of parsley, if
desired.
