There’s something magical about a dish that brings together perfectly cooked chicken, crispy roasted potatoes, and tender asparagus, all tied together with a luscious, herb-infused sauce. This creamy dill chicken recipe does exactly that. The sauce—a dreamy blend of dill, Dijon mustard, sour cream, and butter—elevates every bite, making it a crowd-pleaser you’ll want to make again and again.
Best of all, this meal comes together in about 30 minutes with simple ingredients. The potatoes roast while you sear the chicken and roast the asparagus, so everything finishes at the same time. It’s an easy, elegant dinner that feels special enough for company but simple enough for a busy weeknight.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F with racks in the top and middle positions. Wash and dry all produce. Finely chop the dill fronds. Dice the potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
- On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack until lightly browned and tender, 20–25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3–5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest.
- While the chicken cooks, toss the asparagus on a second baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on the middle rack until tender, 10–12 minutes.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Stir in the chicken stock concentrate, 2 tablespoons water (use 4 tablespoons for 4 servings), and as much chopped dill and Dijon mustard as you like. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings), scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Season with salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches a drizzling consistency.
- Slice the chicken crosswise. Divide the chicken, potatoes, and asparagus among plates. Drizzle the sauce over everything and garnish with remaining chopped dill.

Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, spread them in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
If you don’t have chicken stock concentrate, substitute 2 tablespoons of low-sodium chicken broth.

What can I substitute for sour cream?
Greek yogurt or crème fraîche work well as substitutes for sour cream in this sauce.
How do I store leftovers?
