Quick & Easy Weeknight Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Gather all necessary ingredients for the recipe.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
3. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
5. Cover the skillet and simmer for 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear. Ensure an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken reads at least 165°F (74°C).
