Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs chicken, cut up (if preferred you may use all breast etc, can go up to 2 pounds of chicken)
1 large onion, sliced
1/4 cup lime juice 1/2 teaspoon thyme (2-3 limes, or Old Sour)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil

Steps:

In a large skillet heat oil; add chicken and onion. Squeeze the juice from 2-3 limes over chicken or substitute Old Sour if a spicier flavour preferred. Add thyme. Simmer chicken 30-40 minutes until fork tender and no longer red. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Note: if you use all breast meat, it might take less time. Likewise, if you use more chicken, it might take more time. Keep an eye on it.
