Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Cooking

  • 2 chicken breasts (sliced into fillets/strips)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1/2 medium onion (sliced or diced)

Liquid and Dairy

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cream (18% fat)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Herbs and Seasoning

  • 3 teaspoons fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Fry the chicken: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the cooking oil, then place the chicken fillets in the pan. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is almost fully cooked and has a light golden color.
  2. Add the onions: Add the sliced or diced onions to the pan with the chicken and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are softened and translucent.
  3. Reduce the broth: Remove the chicken pieces temporarily to a plate. Pour the chicken broth into the pan and cook it for about 10 minutes over medium heat until the broth has reduced by roughly half, concentrating the flavors.
  4. Heat chicken with cream: Return the chicken to the pan and add the cream. Heat gently for a few minutes, allowing the cream to warm through and combine with the reduced broth.
  5. Add butter and dill: Stir in the unsalted butter and whisk continuously as it melts into the sauce creating a creamy texture. Remove the pan from heat, then stir in the fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Serve the creamy dill chicken hot, paired nicely with sides like rice, potatoes, or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • Fresh dill gives the dish its signature flavor, but dried dill can be used in a pinch; reduce quantity to 1 teaspoon.
  • Ensure not to overcook chicken during frying to keep it moist and tender.
  • The sauce can be adjusted to desired thickness by controlling the reduction time of the broth.
  • This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
