Combine the flour, salt, pepper and dill. Dip the chicken pieces first in the beaten eggs and then coat them thoroughly in the flour mixture.

In a large flame proof casserole, melt the butter and oil over rnoderate heat. When the foam subsides add the chicken pieces to the pan and fry for about 8 minutes or until lightly browned on all sides, turning frequently.

Preheat the broiler to moderate heat. Add the green pepper to the liquid in the casserole and simmer for 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for a further 2 minutes. Arrange around the chicken pieces. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream. Return to the heat and cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes

Pour the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle the cheese on top and place under the broiler for 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling. Served with boiled rice.
