"A few ordinary, on-hand ingredients make this moist and tender chicken something really extraordinary! The flavor added by the rich, buttery sauce with a splash of lime juice is unmatched. It’s been a hands-down winner at our house for 20 some years," says Denise Segura of Draper, Utah.

Hubby made this recipe for dinner tonight. Chicken was so tender and with the sauce nice and moist. So much flavor. This one is indeed a keeper!!!

I have made this recipe several times. My Grandma, who is a real critic when it comes to food, really enjoys this dish whenever I prepare it for her.

This is very delicious, quick and easy. I made it with chicken tenders, and used olive oil to cook the chicken. When making the lime butter, I used only a couple tablespoons of butter. I think 1 Tblsp. might even be enough. I didn't notice how small the amount of chives was and had already cut a handful of chives from my garden, so used them all. It didn't seem to hurt the recipe any to greatly increase the chives!

I didn't have canola oil so I substituted vegetable oil. This is now one of my favorite, easy recipes!

What a great flavor! I use hawaiian sea salt and Costco's pepper to season the chicken and the kids eat it that way, and then my husband and I use the lime butter on top after slicing our chicken to let it soak in. I've made this twice in the past month and it's so good and so easy! I drain the pan after cooking the chicken before making the sauce.

Good recipe, but I would recomend cutting the amount of butter to a couple tablespoons. Otherwise it is swimming in butter.

I made this the other night and shared some with my Grandma. Now, my Grandma is very particular and rarely gives me a compliment when it comes to my cooking....but this recipe she loved! I'll be sure to make this one again!

I love this recipe. It is so easy and wonderfully delicious. Although the dill adds a special flavor, it's still very good without it.
