Instructions
1
Begin by heating 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for 7 to 10 minutes. Flip halfway through until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet, cover it with foil or a lid to keep warm, and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Introduce the sliced mushrooms and thinly sliced onions, cooking them together while stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until they are tender and the mushrooms release their moisture.
3
Reduce the heat to low, and then carefully stir in the reduced-fat sour cream, chicken broth (or water), chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the sauce is creamy.
4
Return the previously cooked chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is coated with the sauce. Allow the mixture to heat through for an additional 5 minutes, stirring gently.
