Fresh lemon and dill create a quick Greek-inspired pan sauce for simple sauteed chicken breasts.
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tsp olive oil (or canola oil)
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tsp Flour
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- salt & pepper to taste
- 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.
