Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 5 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour, divided
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Preparation

1. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge chicken in 4 tablespoons flour until evenly coated.
2. Heat canola oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
3. 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.
4. Whisk in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
5. 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; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return chicken to the skillet.
6. Serve immediately.
