5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken, taking care not to overcrowd. Cover skillet, leaving about a quarter of pan uncovered, to allow steam to escape.

Cook until chicken is browned on both sides and center is no longer pink, no more than 165F internal temp for thickest center portions - about ⏱️ 3-4 min per side, depending on thickness and starting temp of chicken. Transfer cooked chicken to separate plate and keep warm.

Whisk

In a bowl, gently whisk together the lemon dill sauce ingredients until well incorporated. Pour sauce into the now-empty skillet and constantly stir over medium-high heat, uncovered, until reduced by half, about ⏱️ 5 min. You should end up with about 1 cup of sauce. Taste and add more salt or pepper, if needed.
