Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for cornstarch slurry)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and curry powder, cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 6

Add the fresh dill and lemon juice to the sauce, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 7

If a thicker sauce is desired, create a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch with water. Slowly stir it into the sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until thickened.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the curry dill sauce over the top.

Step 9

Allow the chicken to heat through for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh dill, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the chicken with curry dill sauce over rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside steamed vegetables.
