Ingredients

  • 2 tsp butter

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • 2 tsp capers

  • finely grated lemon zest, of 1/2 lemon

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth, or bouillon

  • 2 tbsp chopped dill, or 1/4 tsp dried dill

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large frying pan set over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, from 2 to 3 minutes per side. Finely chop capers. Once chicken has browned, add capers, peel and broth to pan. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, turning halfway through, until chicken feels springy when pressed, from 10 to 12 minutes. Remove chicken to a platter. Stir dill into pan juices. If sauce looks too thin, increase heat to medium-high and stir often until as thick as you like, about 2 minutes. Pour over chicken and serve with orzo or rice and asparagus or green beans.
