• Use bone-in chicken cuts. They add more flavor to the dish. Bone-in chicken cuts take longer to cook.
• Cut chicken small. Make the chicken cuts small, so they cook faster.
• Double the dill. If you like to boost the dill flavor in the recipe, double the amount of the dill.
• Use the dill stems. Do not leave them out; finely chop them, and they will add more flavor to the dish.
• Use fresh dill. If possible, since dry dill does not have enough flavor and aroma.
• Saute onion and chicken. It is a great way to make the dish flavorful.
• Serve it with your favorite side dishes. I served it with a delicious pasta salad with fresh veggies.
• Baked covered. Baking the chicken cuts uncovered will result in a crispier chicken. However, if you wish to have a soft cooked chicken texture, cover the skillet with aluminum foil and bake it.
• Adjust for baking time. Adjust for baking time if you cut the chicken into smaller pieces or bigger chunks than mine. Also, chicken cuts with no bones, especially chicken breast, cook faster.
• Use high heat. Regardless of the size or the chicken parts you use, cook them at a high oven temperature of 400°F /200C and do not overbake them.

Substitutes

• Substitute chicken. Use beef or fish. I particularly like dill with fish.
• Make it vegan. Substitute chicken with cooked beans, chickpeas, lentils, or soaked chopped nuts such as walnuts, cashews, or peanuts.
• Replace onion. Leeks, chives, garlic, or shallot are great options.
• Substitute avocado oil. Instead, use butter, ghee, coconut, avocado, or olive oil.
• Add your favorite spices and herbs. This is an easy way to boost the dish's flavor without adding more calories. Spices: cumin, ginger, cayenne pepper, or turmeric. Herbs: Replace dill with your favorite herbs, such as cilantro, chives, oregano, mint, parsley, basil, and rosemary.
• Use dry dill.  If you do, use 1/3 cup of dry dill for the recipe.

Variations

• Use the dill chicken in other dishes. For a protein boost, toss chopped cooked dill chicken into green or vegetable salads. Add the dill chicken to your favorite soup recipe. Use it to make a quick dill chicken sandwich.
• Add cream. Add sour cream to the chicken and make a creamy dill chicken. Plain whole milk yoghurt, Greek yoghurt, hard cheese, cottage cheese, cream cheese, or heavy cream are other great alternatives to sour cream.
• Alter cooking method. Cook it in a slow cooker, instant pot, or stovetop instead of baking it in the oven.
• Make a dill chicken and rice casserole.
• Turn it into herb stew. Add more sauteed aromatic herbs such as parsley, cilantro, and chives to make chicken stew with herbs.
