I have a new quick easy dinner recipe for you here that you’re going to love!
I’m assuming if you stumbled on this recipe that you’re already a fan of easy, quick, no fuss healthy dinner recipes, just like I am!
Since right now we’re in September and there’s lots of back to school craziness around dinner time, I’m all about quick dinners that are still packed with flavor plus healthy.
For this recipe, I decided on my favorite, go-to boneless skinless chicken thighs because they have loads of flavor and are so juicy.
They’re a lot tastier than breasts, in my opinion because they don’t dry out!
With this quick lemon dill gravy the flavors all pop and it’s perfect to serve with simple sides like cauliflower rice and a green salad.
Let’s get into all the recipe details so you can make it ASAP!
What You Need to Make This Lemon Dill Chicken
For most of my one skillet meals, I use a large Staub cast iron skillet. Here is the one shown in the photos.
Here are all the ingredients you’ll need to make the chicken:
- boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- ghee
- arrowroot or tapioca flour
- chicken bone broth
- lemon
- fresh dill
How to Make Easy One Skillet Lemon Dill Chicken
Season the chicken thighs all over with sea salt and black pepper, garlic and onion powder.
Heat one tablespoon of ghee in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside.
Reduce heat to medium low and add the second tablespoon of ghee, then whisk in the arrowroot or tapioca flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in chicken stock and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in dill and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Return chicken to the skillet. Garnish with additional dill and lemon slices, and serve right away.
