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

Directions

  1. Warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion in oil until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.

  2. Add chicken to onion in the skillet; cook until chicken is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

  3. Combine ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Pour over chicken; bring to a boil, then reduce heat.

  4. Cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
