Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
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.
Stir in the sour cream, fresh dill, remaining salt, and black pepper. Mix until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Add the lemon juice to the sauce and return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
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).
Serve the chicken with the creamy dill sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with additional dill or fresh parsley if desired.
