Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Dredge the chicken lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or 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 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, then whisk in the sour cream and fresh dill until a smooth sauce forms.

Step 8

Add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for added color, if desired, and serve warm. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
