Lay your chicken breasts on a clean surface and pat them dry to help the seasonings adhere more. Season with salt and pepper. Flip the chicken and do the same with this side.
Place a pan over heat. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter melted, place the chicken breasts. Cook both sides for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. After cooking, remove them from the pan and transfer them to a plate. Set aside.
In the same pan, add 2 cloves of garlic and cook until a little bit brown. Next, add 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of dill into the pan. Mix all ingredients well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Bring back the cooked chicken breasts into the pan and flip on both sides. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens. Pour over some of the sauce on top of the chicken while simmering.
Transfer the chicken breast to a plate and pour some of the sauce on top. Garnish with some fresh dill then serve. Enjoy!
