Creamy Lemon & Dill Skillet Chicken

Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) chicken cutlets

½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

¼ teaspoon salt, divided

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 large shallot, finely chopped

1 large clove garlic, minced

½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

½ cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 small lemon, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons chopped dill, plus more for garnish

Directions

Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken; cook, turning once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Add shallot and garlic to the pan; cook, stirring until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add broth; cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan, until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cream, lemon juice, lemon slices and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt; simmer until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken, with any accumulated juices, and dill; turn to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with additional dill, if desired How many pounds have you lost this month?
