Lemon Dill Chicken

This Recipe Is:

WebMD Recipe from EatingWell.com

Fresh lemon and dill create a quick Greek-inspired pan sauce for simple sautéed chicken breasts. Make it a meal: Serve with roasted broccoli and whole-wheat orzo.

Ingredients

Prep: 30 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes

4
boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (1-1 1/4 pounds)
3 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil, or canola oil, divided
1/4 cup
onions, finely chopped
3 cloves
garlic, minced
1 cup
reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons
flour
2 tablespoons
dill, chopped fresh, divided
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
freshly ground pepper, to taste
salt, to taste

Instructions

Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until well browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to the pan. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk broth, flour, 1 tablespoon dill and lemon juice in a measuring cup and add to pan. Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan; reduce heat to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a warmed platter. Season sauce with salt and pepper and spoon over the chicken. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill.
