  3. Add the diced onions to the pan and sauté for about 4 minutes until soft and translucent.

  5. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir gently until coated, letting it simmer for a few minutes.
  6. Slowly stir in the cream, heating for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Add the unsalted butter and whisk until melted into the sauce, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh dill, allowing the residual heat to enhance the flavor.
