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.

Can I use almond flour? I dont have the others and id love to make this. Ty
If you make it with almond flour, it turns out a different flavor. I think don’t go outside the recipe to capture this flavor.
the receipe choices are for thickener. if you don’t care that much about paleo/keto/vogan, just use corn starch. but almond flour won’t thicken.
The first time I knew about that Lemon Dill Chicken, it looked so fancy and attractive. My house is going to have a party soon and I plan to cook this dish.
This dish is really a great discovery for me because it can be applied to the Keto diet that I am following. I was happy to see the title Lemon Dill Chicken {Paleo, Whole30, Keto}
After a long day, I often cook to unwind my mind. It is the great way for me to relax. I will try cooking this meal
They look so shiny, so delicious. The recipe and the calorie count are just right for me. Too great.
Im so disappointed as I always love your recipes, but this one did not pan out ! The broth mixed with lemon juice tasted horrible. So bland, bitter. Weird. I dont understand the sauce of this recipe. Now that I think of it after the fact, broth with lemon juice? How can that be good?
I cooked according to your recipe but I am not really familiar with the taste of dill leaves, then I omitted the dill and replaced it with finely chopped lime leaves sprinkled on after enjoying.
I like it!
Good but the sauce did not thicken and was goopy
Delicious chicken! We served this with rice on the side. The glaze is so flavorful. We loved it!
Just finished making a huge batch for the week. I used arrowroot and it created a gel than a thick sauce. I added a lot more broth to thin it out and it came out lovely. I like the lemon flavor, it’s not overpowering at all. Yum!
This was so good!
That’s good!
I just found your account a couple of months ago and I am a huge fan of all your meals they have all become my favorites and this one did not disappoint 🥰
This was so good!
Oh Nice Dish
