For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon-thyme mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
Serve this dish with a side of quinoa, couscous, or roasted asparagus for a complete and balanced meal.
Make sure not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry and tough.
Feel free to substitute fresh thyme for dried thyme, using about 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves.
