Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Dill Sauce

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is properly heated before placing the chicken on it for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to infuse flavor.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear, indicating the chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Make the Creamy Dill Sauce: While the chicken is grilling, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
  6. Serve: Serve the grilled chicken breasts with a generous spoonful of the creamy dill sauce drizzled over the top for a flavorful finish.

Notes

  • You can prepare the creamy dill sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for convenience.
  • Using fresh dill in the sauce provides the best flavor, but dried dill can be substituted if fresh is unavailable.
  • This grilled chicken pairs excellently with side dishes like roasted potatoes, steamed rice, or a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
