Lemon Thyme Chicken

After weeks of seasoning my chicken dinners with pre-packaged seasoning mixes, the fresh squeezed lemon and thyme in this recipe was like a breath of fresh and delicious air.

2 chicken breasts cut into bite-size chunks
2 glugs olive oil
1 onion diced (if it's a big onion I'll do 3/4 of it, depends on your onion preference)
1-2 small zucchinis cut in half length-wise then slice
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 lemon, cut 3 slices out of the middle and juice the two end pieces
6-8 branches of time OR a bunch of shakes of thyme from the shaker
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
bit of salt and pepper

Warm olive oil in a high-sided pan over medium heat
Brown chicken, cook most of the way through, place chicken on a clean plate on the side
Saute the onion, garlic, zucchini, thyme and lemon slices for about 5 min until the veggies start to soften
Add in the chicken, stock, and lemon juice
Turn down the heat, cover, summer for 20-ish minutes

Serve over your grain of choice, I usually go for it over wild rice.
