Chicken in Lemon Dill Sauce

• ⅓ cup cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
• 2 tablespoons canola oil or other frying oil
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon salted butter
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons dried dill

Combine the cornstarch and seasoned salt in a shallow pie plate or similar vessel.

Heat the oil in a large sauté or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Dredge the chicken thighs in the seasoned cornstarch mixture. Shake off any of the excess before gently adding each piece to the hot oil.

Brown the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side.

Transfer the chicken to a plate. It will not be fully cooked, but will finish later in the sauce.

Turn the heat down to medium-low. Add the chicken broth to the pan and scrape any tiny bits from cooking the chicken.

Add the butter, cream, lemon juice, black pepper, and dill to the pan; stir to combine.

Return the chicken pieces to the pan with the lemon dill sauce. Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 8-10 minutes.

Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove. Baste chicken to coat with the sauce. Serve over rice, pasta, or potatoes.
