Very tasty chicken! The dill and thyme went surprisingly well together. The wine/gin added a nice flavor; I reduced the liquid a bit after removing the chicken and drizzled the sauce over. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Outstanding chicken recipe! DH is not overly fond of chicken and he loved this! I had 3 chicken breasts that I made for the two of us and browned nicely in two tablespoons of unsalted butter. Didnt have any gin so added an extra splash of wine and unpowdered dried thyme. The chicken was very tender and moist the dill weed was a nice change. Sydney Mike thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Made and reviewed for Kittencal's European Forums The Scandinavian Kitchen Tag Game.

*Reviewed for Whine and Cheese Gangs visit to Scandinavia ZWT6* Easy and tasty. 5 stars for a good quick chicken dish. Mild flavoured and the liquids kept the chicken breast lovely and tender. Photo also being posted
