Directions

Return the chicken to the skillet with the onions. Add a splash of broth or water, cover, and simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
-
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the fresh chopped mint, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
