Ingredients

Instructions

  • Sprinkle lemon pepper and salt on both sides of the chicken breast.
  • Then, sprinkle some flour on both sides of the breast. It doesn't have to be perfectly coated.
    Tip: If you want a more even coating, mix together lemon pepper, salt and flour in a bowl and dredge the chicken breasts in this mixture to coat them more fully.
  • Next, heat oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
  • Place the chicken and pan fry one side until golden brown. Then flip it over and pan fry the other side until cooked through. 
  • Remove from pan and keep aside.
  • In the same pan, add butter, garlic and saute for a few seconds until fragrant.
  • Mix in lemon juice, lemon zest and season with a little more salt, if you like.
  • Add chicken back into the pan and coat it in this garlic lemon butter sauce.
  • Garnish with parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Tastes best when served immediately but leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave.
