1
On a plate, combine flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
2
In a separate bowl, beat the egg.
3
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture. Ensure all sides are coated and shake off any excess flour.
4
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
5
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden and fully cooked, about 7 minutes per side. Keep turning to avoid burning. Once done, remove to a serving plate and cover to stay warm.

In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onion and sauté over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.

Pour in the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme leaves, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
8
Bring the mixture to a boil; cook, stirring often, until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
9
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the butter until melted, then spoon this aromatic sauce over the cooked chicken.

The dish is best served immediately and perfect with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
