Lemon & Dill Chicken

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

Fresh lemon and dill create a quick Greek-inspired pan sauce for simple sautéed chicken breasts.

Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (1-1¼ pounds)
  • salt to taste
  • ground pepper to taste
  • 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, or neutral oil, such as canola or avocado, divided
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
  1. Season 4 chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1½ teaspoons oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until well browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1½ teaspoons oil to the pan. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk 1 cup broth, 2 teaspoons flour, 1 tablespoon dill and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a measuring cup and add to pan. Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan; reduce heat to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a warmed platter. Season sauce with salt and pepper and spoon over the chicken. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill.
