Instructions

Pound the chicken breasts between plastic wrap to achieve an even ½-inch thickness.
Season both sides of the chicken with garlic powder, salt, sage, thyme, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté until softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions, stirring constantly for about 1 minute.
Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring to prevent lumps, and bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the skillet and sauté until fully cooked and the sauce thickens.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
Serve this dish with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
