Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Rub the chicken breasts on both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
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.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and loosen any browned bits.
Stir in the fresh dill and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
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).
Serve the chicken breasts hot, drizzled with the dill and lemon sauce from the skillet. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
