Lemon & Dill Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (1-1¼ pounds)

  • Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, or canola oil, divided

  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • 2 teaspoons flour

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

PREPARATION:

  1. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1½ 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.

  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1½ 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.

  3. 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.
