Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon optional garnish: fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with half of the salt and pepper, then lightly dust them in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, sear the chicken breasts for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Step 4
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Stir in the sour cream, fresh dill, remaining salt, and black pepper. Mix until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Add the lemon juice to the sauce and return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
Step 7
Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 12–15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Step 8
Serve the chicken with the creamy dill sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with additional dill or fresh parsley if desired.
