Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped fresh dill. Set aside.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
Step 5
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and pour the lemon-dill mixture into the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Step 7
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and stir, allowing the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the lemon-dill sauce over them. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, flipping the chicken once, to thoroughly coat with the sauce and heat through.
Step 9
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with extra fresh dill if desired.
