Lemon Dilly Chicken

Fresh lemon and dill create a quick Greek-inspired pan sauce for simple sautéed chicken breasts. Make it a meal: Serve with Herbed Quiona .  Adapted  from a recipe on Eating Well

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and/or thighs, 
• Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil,  divided
• 4 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons all-purpose gluten-free flour
• 2 heaping tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
• 3 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1. Make sure that your chicken pieces are approximately the same thickness.  If you need to pound them inside a zipper bag with a small skillet, do so until they are approximately the same size.
2. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoon 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.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon oil to the pan. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk broth, flour, 4 teaspoons dill and lemon juice in a measuring cup and add to pan. Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
4. 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  chopped fresh dill.
