Grilled chicken breasts in a garlic and onion sauce with fresh dill and lemon juice. Serve with soft and fluffy white rice and some of your favorite vegetables.
To make Lemon and Dill Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Generously season 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper all over.
In a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1½ teaspoons of oil and add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 3 minutes per side until sear and well browned. Set aside on a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
Return the skillet to the heat and reduce to medium. Heat 1½ teaspoons of oil and add ¼ cup of finely chopped onion and 3 cloves of minced garlic. Cook, while tossing, for about 1 minute until fragrant.
In a measuring cup, whisk 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 teaspoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of dill and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and cook, while whisking, for about 3 minutes until slightly thicker.
Reduce the heat to low and return the seared chicken, along with any juices, to the skillet. Simmer for about 4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer chicken to a serving plate.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste and pour over the chicken.
Garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped dill for serving.
