Tips

  • Choose the right cut of chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe.
  • Use fresh dill: Fresh dill has a more intense flavor than dried dill, so it's worth seeking out if you can find it.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it's cooked just until done, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken, but not so thick that it's gloppy. If the sauce is too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Chicken dilly is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
