Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the fresh dill and lemon juice to the sauce. Stir to combine.
Return the chicken to the skillet, covering it with the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken with the creamy dill sauce poured over it. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
