How to Make Chicken Breasts With Lime Dill Butter Sauce
- Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon of the chopped dill.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Melt 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) of butter in the skillet. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, 1/2 tablespoon dill, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce: In a separate small skillet, melt the remaining 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) of butter over low heat.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of dill and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Heat until combined and melted.
- Once the chicken is cooked, plate it and pour the sauce over the top.
- Garnish with lime slices. For an elegant touch, create lime spirals by slicing a thin round from a lime, cutting halfway down the center, and gently pulling the ends apart.
- Serve immediately with rice, parmesan angel hair pasta, or your favorite vegetable.
