Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the Pan: Begin by heating a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour in a swirl of your preferred cooking oil.
Cook the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Sauté the Onions: Remove chicken and add sliced onions to the pan, sauté for about 4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Prepare the Sauce Base: Pour in chicken broth, scrape the bottom of the pan, and simmer for about 10 minutes until reduced.
Combine Chicken and Cream: Return chicken to the pan, pour in the cream, and heat through for a few minutes.
Finish the Sauce: Add unsalted butter and whisk until melted, then stir in fresh dill.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with rice or mashed potatoes, spooning the sauce over the top.
