Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 lb) with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Dredge in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Step 3: Remove chicken to a plate. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter, 1 lemon (thinly sliced), and 2 tbsp fresh dill to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in 1 tbsp lemon juice. Return chicken to skillet and cook for 1 minute, spooning sauce over the top.
