Chefs Tips
This is quite a forgiving recipe as people tend to overcook chicken breasts (please try not to), however the creamy dill sauce is so decadent and rich it can mask almost any (slightly) overcooked chicken breast. Word to the wise — brine your chicken breast for at least 30 minutes before starting this recipe. If you want to learn more about brining we write an easy to read guide.
You'll need a good frying pan for this recipe. Read about our favourite frying pans here.
