This creamy dill chicken is all about the sauce-a luscious blend of sour cream, Dijon mustard and fresh dill that coats tender pan-seared chicken breasts. Paired with crispy roasted potatoes and green beans, it’s a complete dinner that feels special yet comes together easily.
The secret to the sauce is deglazing the pan after cooking the chicken, scraping up all those flavorful browned bits. A touch of chicken stock concentrate adds depth, while fresh dill brings brightness. Serve it drizzled over everything for a dish that’s sure to become a weeknight favorite.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Wash and dry all produce. Pick the dill fronds from the stems and finely chop them. Cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
- On a baking sheet, toss the potato cubes with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until crisp and golden brown, 22-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- While the potatoes roast, heat a large drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside to rest. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Meanwhile, on another baking sheet, toss the green beans with a generous drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 10-12 minutes.
- To the skillet (off heat), add 1 teaspoon of the chopped dill, sour cream, chicken stock concentrates, Dijon mustard and ¼ cup water. Stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Season with salt and pepper. If the sauce seems too thick, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a drizzly consistency.
- Thinly slice the chicken. Divide the sliced chicken, roasted potatoes and green beans among plates. Drizzle the sauce over everything and garnish with the remaining dill to taste.

What can I substitute for sour cream?
Greek yogurt or crème fraîche are good substitutes. Keep in mind the sauce may be slightly tangier.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
