Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness. This ensures equal cooking time.
Step 2
Rub the chicken breasts on both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and loosen any browned bits.
Step 7
Stir in the fresh dill and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
Step 8
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 9
Serve the chicken breasts hot, drizzled with the dill and lemon sauce from the skillet. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
