Lemon and Dill Chicken

Ingredients

  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1⁄4 cup onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.  Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken and sear until well browned on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.  Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.  
  2. Combine chicken broth, flour, dill, and lemon juice in a measuring cup.  
  3. Reduce heat to medium.  Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan.  Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until fragrant.  Add broth mixture and continue cooking, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.  
  4. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan and reduce heat to low.  Simmer until chicken is cooked through, 10 to 20 minutes depending on thickness of chicken.  
  5. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.  Serve chicken with sauce.

This recipe is from Eating Well.  I actually made it quite some time ago and never got around to posting it, but it turned up in my meal plan again recently as it’s a great way to use up fresh dill.  It’s very tasty.
